Green light for Cortona
10th Feb 2012
SYDNEY, Feb 10 – The New South Wales Land and Environment Court has given the green light to Australian gold company Cortona Resources’ Dargues Reef mine.
Following negotiated outcomes with local residents and conservation groups, the court approved modifications to the mine operating conditions that the company does not expect to impact its forecast production and capital costs.
After a long-delayed approvals process, managing director Peter van der Borgh says the company aims to move ahead with development as rapidly as possible.
