Avenira Limited announced that the Northern Territory Government provided a letter of intent to grant the Mineral Leases (‘Intent to Grant Letter') required for the Company's 100%-owned Wonarah DSO Phosphate Project. The Intent to Grant Letter for these Mineral Leases has been issued by the Minister for Mining and Industry, and Deputy Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, Nicole Manison. The two Mineral Leases - ML33343 and ML33344, include areas within the proposed DSO Project, plus supporting access roads and infrastructure.

The only step remaining prior to grant of the Mineral Leases is payment of rental fees. In addition, the Company is well progressed on outstanding approvals for the Wonarah DSO Phosphate Project including: Assessment and approval of the Mine Management Plan for the proposed trial test pit and first stages of the DSO operation by Northern Territory Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade; Approval of the Mining Authorisation to allow commencement of initial test pit and initial DSO operations; and Preparatory work for an Access Authority application to allow access road modifications.
