EIA for New Iron Ore Transport and Handling Facilities
In November 2013, Sable Mining appointed SRK to manage the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the Liberia iron ore export project.
Sable is developing a 25-year life of mine plan for the deposit at Mount Nimba, Guinea from where the ore will travel by rail to Port of Buchanan, Liberia. New rail, port, and handling facilities will be required. The EIA will comply with the International Finance Corporation's performance standards, with streamlined environmental and/or social assessment considering transboundary effects into Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire.
