Oracle Power PLC (LSE:ORCP) has submitted a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit application for its Northern Zone Gold Project in Western Australia.

The application has been filed with Western Australia’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and relates to the company’s project located approximately 25 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie.

The permit is a legal requirement for the clearing of native vegetation and forms part of the regulatory process required before future mining operations can proceed at the site.

Mine development proposal targeted for September

The Native Vegetation Clearing Permit process is progressing alongside preparation of the project’s Mine Development and Closure Proposal.

Oracle Power said the proposal remains on schedule for submission to Western Australia’s mining regulator in early September.

Both regulatory processes form part of the approvals required as the company advances development planning for Northern Zone.

Mine planning continues with MEGA Resources

Oracle Power is also continuing mine planning and scheduling work for the project alongside its funding partner, MEGA Resources.

Management said the Northern Zone project is progressing towards production and potential cash generation, subject to the necessary approvals and development work.

The company is finalising its mine planning and scheduling activities while the regulatory applications progress.
