Completion of Spatial Planning Procedure
Zinnwald Lithium plc, the European focused lithium company, is pleased to announce that the spatial impact assessment (the "Assessment") for its proposed lithium mining and processing project (the 'Project') in Germany has been completed.
The Saxony State Directorate has issued its Assessment to the Company and the Saxon Mining Authority within the prescribed timeframe. The Assessment concludes that the development concept set out in the Company's Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS"), including processing at Liebenau and ore transport via a conveyor tunnel, represents the most favourable option for large-scale development, and confirms the spatial compatibility of the Project. As expected for a project of this nature, the report identifies several matters to be addressed through the Project's Environmental Impact Assessment and at the permitting stage, which the Company will review as the Project progresses.
The Company notes that the Assessment does not constitute a development approval. It precedes the formal approval process under Saxon State mining law and provides the framework for further planning. The next stage of the Project will be progressed through the mining permitting process led by the Saxon Mining Authority.
Anton du Plessis, CEO of Zinnwald Lithium, commented: "The completion of the spatial planning process marks another important step forward for our integrated lithium hydroxide project in Germany. The findings support the development concept outlined in our PFS and provide a clear basis to progress into the next stages of environmental assessment and permitting."
