This Statement has been superseded by a Notice of Interim Implementation Conditions released by the Minister for Environment on 23 February 2011 and subsequent amendments to Ministerial Statement 0905.

The Notice of Interim Implementation Conditions under Section 46A of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 applies to the Magellan Lead Carbonate Project. The proposal includes an open-cut lead carbonate mine and processing facilities 30 kilometres west of the Wiluna townsite. The lead carbonate concentrate produced at the mine-site is transported in sealed bags within locked shipping containers by road from the mine-site to Leonora and then by rail to the Port of Fremantle where it is exported.
