Regis Resources will seek environmental approval from the federal government for an ‘integrated waste landform’ to store waste from its proposed McPhillamys gold mine near Blayney in NSW. Regis contends that the tailings dam that it had originally proposed – and which was blocked by former environment minister Tanya Plibersek on Indigenous heritage grounds – is still the ‘optimal’ solution. However, it has lodged the application to develop the integrated waste landform at an alternative site in case its legal challenge to Plibersk’s 2024 ruling is unsuccessful. Regis estimates that McPhillamys contains at least 2.26 million ounces of gold.
