Anglesey Mining PLC on Tuesday said its Environmental Impact Assessment scoping report for the Parys Mountain mine has been approved by Anglesey County Council. This marks a step forward in the company’s efforts to restart mining operations at the site in North Wales. The council’s North Wales Minerals & Waste Planning service provided feedback ‘broadly agreeing’ with Anglesey Mining’s proposed environmental scope, methodology, and mitigation measures for areas such as ecology, air quality, and visual impact. However, further work has been requested in three areas: ground and surface water, cultural heritage, and traffic and transportation. Regarding traffic and transportation, the company will undertake a full transport assessment in line with council recommendations. Anglesey Mining Chief Executive Officer Rob Marsden said: ‘I am absolutely delighted that the proposed mitigations to potential environmental impacts, put forward by the company, have been approved. ‘The permitting objective of Anglesey Mining remains unchanged, that is to make a planning application, that when enacted, will be seen to provide economic returns to investors, job opportunities, mitigation of the impacts to the environment and enhanced respect for, and appreciation of, the mining heritage of Parys Mountain, thus earning us a social licence to operate.’ Shares in Anglesey Mining were down 17% at 0.62 pence each in London on Tuesday morning.
