The company notes that the publication, which has now been followed by the commencement of the PER period, is a crucial step in the Project's approval process. It is pertinent to note that the PER process would require the company to respond to the comments received with respect to the proposal.
It is also stated that the PER and the response activity is the ultimate step that would pave the way for the Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia to make an assessment report. The report would contain recommendations to the WA Environment Minister on whether the Proposal of VRX should be approved.
