The development comes after the company completed community consultation and submitted all requisite applications needed to effect the rezoning of land for mining use.
Simultaneously, Poland’s Ministry of Agriculture approved rezoning of 56ha of agricultural land for industrial use that will enable Prairie to undertake construction of a mine site, shafts and associated surface infrastructure.
Prairie Mining CEO Ben Stoikovich said: “With approval of the spatial development plan, we have taken a major step forward towards applying for a mining concession in order to build the Jan Karski mine together with our strategic partner China Coal, and ultimately unlock significant value for all stakeholders.”
The company is planning to submit the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for securing environmental consent and mining concession application in the near future.
