On 1 August 2022, AGR supplied the requested supplementary information, including details about the planned activities, environmental plans and programs reflecting the environmental management methods to ensure the PBA complies with all obligations under the environmental rules.

The company engaged Golder Associates, a globally renowned environmental services provider, to undertake this body of work.

AGR’s plan to commence project construction

The LI is an important permit for AGR to obtain in order to commence project construction. The company plans to commence earthworks, civil works and installation of the processing unit once the LI is received from FEPAM.

Subsequently, the Operation Licence (LO) will be granted once FEPAM validates that the completion of site installation is strictly within the guidelines detailed in the LI.

AGR is yet to receive comments from FEPAM and looks forward to securing the environmental approval for the LI.
