What’s proposed
the development works will consist of the resumption of underground mining in the Nevinstown orebody. The Nevinstown orebody being the closest section of the Navan orebody to surface. Previously planning permission was granted by An Bord Pleanala, ref PL17.204034, in January 2004; said permission has expired. Ore reserves will be mined sequentially over the lifetime of the operation. The resultant tailings waste will be accommodated in the existing tailings facility. Mining will follow a cyclic pattern resulting in the removal of ore from underground, hoisting to surface for processing followed by the filling of the extraction voids using cemented backfill. The surface characteristics and features of the Nevinstown townland will not be altered by mining activity. There will be no additional above ground structure/infrastructure associated with the development. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the development will be submitted to Planning Authority with the planning application. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) for the development has been prepared and will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the planning application. The proposal will be within the scope of Industrial Emissions License (IEL) (P0516-03); currently under review by the Environmental Protection Agency.
