Gippsland Critical Minerals are committed to ensuring community information about the Fingerboards Critical Minerals Project is accessible and transparent — whether in person or online.
Spatial Media created an immersive, interactive experience for communities and stakeholders to explore the revised project footprint which is a smaller mining area and reduced impact on environment and local roads. The map layers, toggles and filters allow community to compare and highlights a 27% (346 hectare) reduction in the mining and separation plant area compared to the 2021 project.
The map shows a significant reduction in the mining area to the north, which increases the distance between the mining area and the Mitchell River and the Lindenow horticultural area.
The new GCM map also details an area to the south of the 2021 project, which has been added to the mining area, covering the proposed location of the new separation plant. This new plant location will allow bulk mineral product to be transported on private roads to a new proposed rail siding in Fernbank, without the need to cross or access public roads.
