The company has applied for an air quality control permit from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, representing a critical step in the approval process to develop the project.

“This permit application, together with our previous federal permit submission in January 2024, means that New World is well on the way to submitting applications for all permits required to allow [for] . . . development and mining of the Antler project to proceed,” MD and CEO Nick Woolrych has said.

New World will lodge additional Arizona state permits over the coming weeks, with approvals expected to be received progressively from mid-2025.
