Maritana Minerals has secured two key approvals for its Black Swan Processing Hub (BSPH), keeping the Western Australian project on track to produce first gold in the second half of 2027. Maritana managing director and chief executive officer Grant Haywood said the approvals marked significant progress for the development. “The MDCP approval for the BSPH, followed by DWER’s Works Approval, are key milestones that keep our approvals pathway on track,” he said. “With these approvals now in place, our Clearing Permit application is progressing through the DMPE assessment against a 30-day target.” “With the key approvals granted, site establishment and water infrastructure works underway, and road and communications requirements being less extensive than expected, the BSPH continues to gain momentum toward development,” Haywood said.
