Pilbara secures native title for Pilgangoora

ASX-listed Pilbara Minerals has signed a native title agreement with the Njamal People over its Pilgangoora lithium project, in Western Australia. Pilbara MD and CEO Ken Brinsden said on Tuesday that the native title agreement represented a significant approval required to allow the grant of a mining lease. The award of a mining lease is the last hurdle to the Pilgangoora mining proposal submission, and subsequent final project permitting during the first quarter of next year.
