Toro Energy Limited (ASX:TOE) announced it has released the Public Environmental Review (PER) for extending the Company’s wholly-owned and advanced Wiluna Uranium Project in Western Australia.
As quoted in the press release:
Toro has already secured the major environmental approvals from the Western Australian and Federal governments to establish a processing facility at the Wiluna Project and commence mining two of its deposits, Centipede and Lake Way. The current PER describes Toro’s plans and the likely environmental effects to integrate two additional deposits, Millipede and Lake Maitland, into an extended Wiluna Project. Millipede is located directly adjacent to the Centipede deposit. The proposal contemplates ore being mined at Lake Maitland and hauled to Centipede for processing.

Extensive studies have already been undertaken at both Millipede and Lake Maitland deposits, which were acquired by Toro in 2011 and 2013. The environmental impacts of mining at the two locations are significantly less than would be realised if these deposits were developed as separate projects.
Toro Energy Managing Director, Dr Vanessa Guthrie, stated:
Today’s release of the PER is a further opportunity for the public to engage in the assessment process and for Toro to explain how development of the Millipede and Lake Maitland deposits can be undertaken while protecting the environment and providing community benefits.
