Chalice Mining Limited ('Chalice' or 'the Company', ASX: CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF) is pleased to advise that the Government of Western Australia has approved the Stage 2 Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for initial low-impact drilling at the Hartog and Baudin targets at its 100%- owned Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project, Western Australia.
The CMP sets out strict environmental requirements governing initial low-impact drilling activity at the priority targets, located within the Julimar State Forest.
No mechanised clearing of vegetation is required to access drill sites, and vegetation disturbance will be avoided where possible by using existing recreational tracks. Chalice has conducted extensive flora and fauna surveys covering an area of 5,700ha to inform the Company's drilling program.
A key condition of the CMP includes monitoring by qualified fauna observers throughout the program to ensure there is no direct impact to wildlife. Cultural heritage surveys and advice received from Yued and Whadjuk Traditional Owner groups have confirmed that no cultural heritage sites are affected by the drilling program.
The drilling program is expected to have no impact on the ongoing recreational use of the forest.
