Atalaya Mining (LSE: ATYM) is pleased to announce that the Junta de Andalucía ("JdA") has granted the Unified Environmental Authorisation (or in Spanish, Autorización Ambiental Unificada ("AAU")) to the San Dionisio deposit at Proyecto Riotinto.
The AAU allows for the expansion of mining activities at San Dionisio, which represents a key component of Atalaya's strategy to increase copper production by sourcing higher-grade material from deposits throughout the Riotinto District.
Alberto Lavandeira, CEO, commented:
"We are delighted to have received the AAU and look forward to fully integrating the San Dionisio deposit into our operations. This is a key milestone for the development of Proyecto Riotinto, and it once again demonstrates the Junta de Andalucia's support of the mining industry in the region."
