Earlier in May this year, Lincoln completed a geotechnical and resource diamond drilling programme, soil engineering test pits and also established a groundwater and surface water monitoring network at the proposed mine site.

Engineering studies at the site are in progress.

Upon receiving approval for PEPR, Lincoln plans to commence project development at Kookaburra Gully.

Lincoln Minerals managing director Dr John Parker said: "Lincoln will now work closely with the DSD, the District Council of Tumby Bay, the southern Eyre Peninsula community and other stakeholders throughout the PEPR preparation and approval process to facilitate its early completion, clearing the way for mine construction and production targeted to commence in 2017."
