Savannah's CEO, David Archer said: "We have completed the fourth and final stage of the environmental application process with the lodging of our EIA permit applications. Accordingly, all regulatory applications for copper mine development at both Mahab 4 and Maqail South have now been submitted. Whilst we await the granting of our Mining Licences, I am pleased to report that we remain highly active in order to ensure the timely delivery of these copper mines. This includes appointing IMO to undertake an Economic Study, auditing the resources at both deposit areas, conducting additional metallurgical test work including tailings thickening, and developing a detailed mine design and production plans. We are also assessing several processing plant turn-key solutions.
"This is undoubtedly set to be an exciting year for Savannah, which should see us transition from a development company, to a mining company and we are keen to lead the way and deliver the first new copper mine development that Oman will have seen for several years."
