Jangada gains enviro approval for trial mining
South America-focused platinum group metals (PGM) project developer Jangada Mines on Monday announced that it had been issued an environmental licence for trial mining at the Pedra Branca project, in north-eastern Brazil.
The environmental licence is the final requirement before the company can submit an application for a trial mining licence. The application will be lodged before year-end, although Jangada does not plan to start trail mining until after it has completed a bankable feasibility study (BFS).
