Critical Metals Corp Paves Way for Commercial Approval of Its Wolfsberg Lithium Project With State of Carinthia Decree
The State of Carinthia in Austria has issued the decree for the Wolfsberg Lithium Project not to undertake a full-scale Environmental Impact Assessment
奧地利卡恩滕州已發佈法令,決定沃爾夫斯貝格鋰礦項目不進行全面環境影響評估。
NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) ("Critical Metals Corp" or "the Company"), a leading mining development company focused on critical metals and minerals and producing strategic products essential to electrification and next generation technologies for Europe and its western world partners, today announced that after an intensive examination, the Company has received a notice from the Carinthian state government that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required for the Wolfsberg Lithium Project, which is strategically located in Austria.
紐約,2024年12月2日(全球新聞網)-- 關鍵金屬公司(納斯達克:CRML)("關鍵金屬公司"或"公司"),是一家以關鍵金屬和礦產爲重點的領先採礦開發公司,生產對歐洲及其西方夥伴國家的電氣化和下一代技術至關重要的戰略產品,今天宣佈經過深入審查,公司已收到卡恩滕州政府的通知,沃爾夫斯貝格鋰礦項目不需要環境影響評估(EIA),該項目戰略性地位於奧地利。
This is an important step on the way to realizing the project and establishing a European battery supply chain for electromobility. Now, as it relates to underground mining where the surface area required by the above-ground facilities is less than 10 hectares, as is envisaged for lithium mining on the Koralpe, no EIA is required by law.
這是實現該項目和建立歐洲電動出行電池供應鏈的重要一步。根據法律規定,地下采礦的地面設施所需面積少於10公頃,如計劃在科拉爾佩進行鋰礦開採的情況,不需要進行環境影響評估。
"This is an extraordinary achievement for Critical Metals Corp and our Wolfsberg project, as we chart a path forward for the production of critical minerals in Europe," said Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of Critical Metals Corp. "This decree makes the Wolfsberg Project the first new mining project within the EU that is able to pave the way into the fast-track approval process for new mining projects in the critical minerals sector. This is a significant milestone towards sustainable production of lithium from Austrian mining extraction in an integrated European supply chain located in the heart of Europe."
關鍵金屬公司的首席執行官兼執行主席託尼·賽奇表示:"這是關鍵金屬公司和我們的沃爾夫斯貝格項目取得的非凡成就,因爲我們爲在歐洲生產關鍵礦物鋪平了道路。"他說:"該法令使沃爾夫斯貝格項目成爲歐盟內第一個可以進入關鍵礦物板塊新開採項目快速審批程序的新採礦項目。這是從奧地利採礦提取鋰的可持續生產在位於歐洲心臟地帶的綜合歐洲供應鏈中的一個重要里程碑。"
The assessment by the EIA authority covered the entire project on the Koralpe, i.e. the planned underground mining, the surface mining facility for the production of a spodumene concentrate, the energy supply lines and necessary clearance, and the refilling of the empty mining chambers with the surplus mining material, as well as an examination of interactions with other projects. The audit was carried out by official experts from the departments of forestry, nature conservation, geology, hydrogeology, waste management, chemistry, process engineering, water ecology and water management as well as torrent and avalanche control. On the basis of this comprehensive case-by-case examination, in which all relevant facts of the EIA Act were taken into account, the EIA authority came to the conclusion that an EIA was not necessary.
環境影響評估機構的評估覆蓋了科拉爾佩的整個項目,即計劃中的地下采礦、用於生產霞石濃縮礦的地面採礦設施、能源供給線路和必要的清理,以及用剩餘採礦材料填補空的採礦室,還檢驗了與其他項目的互動。審核由來自林業、自然保護、地質、水文地質、廢物管理、化學、工藝工程、水生態和水管理等部門的官方專家進行。此外,還涉及了溝渠和雪崩控制的審計。在這次全面的逐案審查中,環境影響評估法的所有相關事實都被考慮在內,環境影響評估機構得出結論認爲不需要進行環境影響評估。
Moving forward, Critical Metal Corp's primary focus for the Wolfsberg Project is financing the start of mining and continuing to pursue approval of the plant and the mining operations plan. The decision not to carry out an EIA is expected to have a positive effect on financing.
展望未來,關鍵金屬corp在沃爾夫斯貝格項目的主要重點是爲礦業的開始控件融資,並繼續尋求廠房和採礦作業計劃的批准。不進行環境影響評估的決定預計將對融資產生積極影響。
