Sheffield Resources, an ASX listed heavy mineral sands developer, is now set to develop it’s Tier 1 Thunderbird Project, located in the Dampier Peninsula of Western Australia, with first production from commissioning expected in late 2020, following a near two year construction period.
The Company has finalised all key permitting and financing aspects subsequent to our April 2017 note, with the final steps being the recent granting of the Mining Lease and Federal Government Environmental Approval – these follow on from the signing of a Coexistence Agreement with the Traditional Owners. Sheffield has already commenced preliminary site works, including upgrading of the access road and acquisition of an accommodation village.
