Applications submitted include the declaration of mining project feasibility report (DMPF), exploration report and the environmental impact statement (EIS) with other environmental permit applications required for the grant of an environmental compliance certificate (ECC).
Red Mountain Mining managing director Jon Dugdale said that submission of the permit applications is another key milestone for the company.
"The aim is to continue feasibility studies and complete detailed design at the same time as progressing the project to final permitting, so that financing and development can commence immediately after they are both achieved," Dugdale said.
