Project Proponent Newcrest Mining Limited Proposal description The proposal is to supply power to an expanded mining operation at the Telfer Gold Mine. The proposed expansion of the Telfer Gold Mine associated with this proposal is being dealt with separately. That mine expansion is set out in a separate referral to the EPA (Newcrest Mining Limited 2002b). The mine expansion and power supply proposals have been separated because it is likely that the mine and power supply will eventually be operated by different proponents. Nevertheless, the proposals have been developed and assessed in parallel. The EPA's assessment of the mine expansion proposal is here.
