PLANS for a third Legend International mining lease in the North West are progressing, with the company lodging its environmental impact statement (EIS).

The proposed mine follows two other mining leases already granted for Paradise North and the D-Tree deposits about 140 kilometres North West of Mount Isa.

Legend project manager Ed Walker said the EIS consists of eight volumes and about 3500 pages and covered aspects as diverse as flora and fauna, social impact, infrastructure, water quality, cultural heritage and rehabilitation.
