WA EPA recommends approval of Gruyere gold project

Western Australian Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chairperson Dr Tom Hatton has recommended that Environment Minister Albert Jacob approve junior miner Gold Road Resources’ Gruyere gold project. South Africa-based gold major Gold Fields recently entered into a joint venture with Gold Road to acquire 50% of the project, which entails a large-scale openpit mine, tailings storage facility and waste dump north-east of Laverton.
