Savannah lithium project: Next steps Submission of the report initiated the 50 business day review period available to APA. Hence APA’s Environmental Impact Statement (‘DIA’) decision is expected on or before 31 May 2023.
Following an initial period of internal review by APA, Savannah expects the EIA, Mine Plan and other supporting documents, which it has submitted, to be made available to the public via the APA website for 10 business days.
After publication of the documents by APA, Savannah will also make public more details of the Project’s revised design, operation and rehabilitation and closure of the Project.
If APA reaches a positive DIA decision:
- Savannah expects the decision to set certain design and operating conditions for the Project
- Savannah expects to be given 10 business days to consider the conditions set in the proposed decision
If Savannah accepts the conditions set in the decision, the environmental licencing process could then continue alongside work on the Project’s Definitive Feasibility Study. Savannah would expect the Project to receive its Environmental Licence in 2024
