About this update from First Tin Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n \n \n9 August 2024\nFirst Tin Plc\n(\"First Tin\" or \"the Company\")\nScoping Report and Request for SEARs Lodged by Taronga Mines Pty Ltd\n \nFirst Tin PLC, a tin development company with advanced, low capex projects in Germany and Australia, is pleased to announce that the permitting process at its Taronga Tin Project (\"Taronga\") in Australia has further progressed with lodgement of Taronga's Scoping Report on Monday 5th August. This report was lodged with a request to the New South Wales (\"NSW\") Planning Secretary for Environmental Assessment Requirements (\"SEARs\").\nAs lodgement represents the formal commencement of the NSW permitting process for a State Significant Project, it will result in the Scoping Report being publicly displayed on the NSW Government's website.\n \nThe Scoping Report outlines the key components of the Taronga project including the layout, infrastructure placement, personnel requirements, proposed transport routes etc. It will be used by various NSW Government departments and regulatory agencies to specify the range of assessment requirements for inclusion in Taronga's Environmental Impact Statement (\"EIS\"). \n \nMany of the statutory EIS assessment requirements are substantially advanced, including extensive surveys for Aboriginal cultural heritage, flora and fauna. It is thus expected that, once the SEARs are provided, the EIS can be rapidly progressed, allowing for it to then be lodged by the end of calendar 2024.\n \nFirst Tin CEO, Bill Scotting commented:\n \n\"The lodgement of the Scoping Report and request for SEARs is a key step in the permitting process for Taronga. Since the completion of our DFS, permitting alongside DFS optimisation work has been the principal focus of the team in Australia and we are excited to now be in a position to soon lodge the EIS and apply for Development Approval.\"\n \n \nEnquiries:\n \n\n\n\n\nFirst Tin\n\n\nVia SEC Newgate below\n\n\n\n\nBill Scotting - Chief Executive Officer\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nArlington Group Asset Management Limited (Financial Advisor and Joint Broker and Bookrunner)\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSimon Catt\n\n\n020 7389 5016\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nZeus Capital Limited (Joint Broker)\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nHarry Ansell / Dan Bristowe / Katy Mitchell\...
