The Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia (EPA) has published its assessment report and conditions for approval for ASX-listed VRX Silica’s Arrowsmith North silica sand project.

In the report, the EPA recommends that the Arrowsmith North development proposal may be implemented subject to the conditions.

The conditions have been accepted by VRX following consultation with the EPA.

VRX Silica highlights this as significant milestone, marking the completion of the EPA’s assessment of the project and the finalisation its recommendation to the Minister for Environment.

Publication of the report triggers a three-week review period. Following this period and resolution of any appeals by an independent appeals convenor, the Minister for Environment will consider approval of the Arrowsmith North development proposal under the Environmental Protection Act.

VRX MD Bruce Maluish welcomes the development, noting that “the company is now on the cusp of opening up a new industry in the Midwest region of Western Australia, with employment and other long-term benefits flowing to the state”.
