FinnAust to start social-impact assessment in Greenland

Aim-listed FinnAust Mining has received approval for a social-impact assessment (SIA) programme for its Pituffik titanium project from the Greenland Mineral Licence and Safety Authority (MLSA). FinnAust is preparing an application for an exploitation licence at the Greenland-based project to extract ilmenite, a primary source of titanium metal. As part of this application process, FinnAust is required to submit an SIA and an environmental-impact assessment (EIA), describing the potential impacts and planned mitigation measures for the project's construction, operation and closure.
