MELBOURNE, Australia, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mr Sam Riggall, CEO of Clean TeQ Holdings Limited (Clean TeQ or the Company) (ASX:CLQ) (TSX:CLQ) (OTCQX:CTEQF) is pleased to advise that the New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) has formally approved Modification 6 to the Development Consent for the Clean TeQ Sunrise Project (Project). The approval is an important milestone as planning and execution of the Project’s early works progresses.
Clean TeQ submitted Modification 6 in January 2018 seeking changes to the accommodation facility at the Project which were deemed necessary to both optimise the mine plan and improve the amenity of the on-site workforce. The changes included the relocation of the accommodation facility from the main mine site to an adjacent property south of the mine on a property owned by Clean TeQ called “Sunrise” (see Figure 1).
Approval of Modification 6 will also allow Clean TeQ to use the camp for up to approximately 300 personnel during site-based campaigns such as shutdowns and maintenance. In addition, the Modification permits an increase in the camp’s capacity from approximately 1,000 to 1,300 personnel during the construction phase.
