Project Proponent Western Mining Corporation Ltd Proposal description Two initial wells are proposed, followed by a minimum of four exploration wells over the next five years. To improve the efficiency of the formal assessment process and reduce repetition it has been agreed that, instead of submitting proposals for one well at a time, it would be acceptable to submit a proposal for a programme to address the entire permit area, provided that the CER adequately addresses all the relevant issues and that the site specific data would be submitted at a later stage, prior to the drilling of each well.
