It is one part of the company’s ‘Permanent Conditions TEO’ – Russia’s equivalent to a feasibility study - for the project and it defines the base line preproduction environmental setting and conditions. The documentation will be incorporated into the project’s environmental quality management processes.
"[The BLEA] confirms mining of our large scale Kun-Manie nickel copper sulphide deposit will not require any extraordinary programmes or procedures beyond those already planned by the company to undertake the implementation of our operation,” said Robin Young, Amur's chief executive.
“Typical monitoring and mitigation procedures can be implemented to ensure protection of the environment during construction and operations," he added.
