Colitco - Nifty Copper Project Restart Gains Regulatory Momentum

Cyprium Metals is making significant progress on restarting the Nifty copper project in Western Australia. The company has recently secured crucial environmental and construction-related approvals. These developments mark a turning point in the project’s restart timeline, reducing regulatory risk. By locking in these permits, Cyprium is advancing Phase 1 of its restart strategy with clarity. This phase includes early refurbishment works and long-term site planning.

Environmental Approvals Support Early-Stage Activities

Environmental compliance is a cornerstone of Cyprium’s development strategy at Nifty. The company has secured the necessary permits to recommence operations at the SX-EW cathode plant.These approvals enable Cyprium to undertake early-stage activities without delays. They reduce the project’s risk profile and ensure alignment with WA environmental policies.

Executive chair Matt Fifield emphasised the strategic value of these permits. “Our core assets include the environmental approvals that we already have in hand,” he said. Maintaining close relationships with regulators allows the company to navigate requirements efficiently. This proactive approach ensures that Cyprium remains compliant throughout construction and production.

The company has also progressed with the refurbishment of its solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) plant. The Works Approval W6771/2022/1 has been formally extended to August 2027. This amendment includes updated engineering specifications for planned construction activities.

Key infrastructure works include rehabilitating the existing heap leach pads. Cyprium will also construct new acid storage tanks and containment systems. Upgrades to leach solution ponds and operational support facilities are also in motion. With these upgrades, the SX-EW plant is poised to return to operational status. These works are central to Cyprium’s copper cathode production strategy under Phase 1.
