For South Australian operations, we prepare detailed PEPRs for 12-month and ongoing approval which describe mining operations, environmental protection strategies, and rehabilitation plans in accordance with state-specific requirements.
“AMETS has assisted Rimfire with tenement management for several years and we have found their approach has been very friendly and professional, systematic and timely. The AMETS team members have great knowledge and advice to guide our exploration drilling programs through the myriads of government regulations from start (APO) to completion (REH). The documentation and maps for submission to the Regulator are of high standard and allow smooth approvals process. Overall Rimfire is happy to be working in partnership with AMETS.”
