PROJECT UPDATE

The Avonbank Project feasibility and engineering studies are continuing to progress well, and WIM expects to complete these by the end of 2021. The delivery of the feasibility study will inform the capital funds raising requirements for the project to be constructed.

The Avonbank Project test pit rehabilitation studies are ongoing and the crop to date has emerged and established well. Environmental and socioeconomic studies continue to progress well, as part of the Environment Effects Statement (EES), with the delivery of major studies, such as the noise, traffic, and groundwater studies over the past quarter. WIM expects to have the EES ready for public exhibition by late 2021-early 2022.

WIM plans to attend a number of community events in the spring. These events provide the opportunity for any member of the community to learn about the Avonbank Project and have input.
