Global Lithium Resources Limited announced signing a Land Access Agreement for Exploration and Prospecting (Agreement) with Kakarra Part B, the native title claim group, for the Manna Lithium Project.
The Agreement establishes the framework for Global Lithium to perform Aboriginal heritage surveys to assist continuing exploration and pre-development activities at the Manna Lithium Project (in compliance with the existing Exploration Licences). According to Global Lithium, the Agreement is in accordance with the criteria of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021 (WA), which goes into effect on 1 July 2023.
Global Lithium Managing Director Ron Mitchell met with Kakarra Part B registered native title claimants in Kalgoorlie to sign the Agreement. The discussion also included a Native Title Mining Agreement to support a Final Investment Decision and project development. Kakarra Part B has committed to frequent continuing discussions to facilitate the establishment of a Native Title Mining Agreement for the Manna Lithium Project.
“It is a pleasure to be building a relationship with the Kakarra people as the traditional landowners for the Manna Lithium Project,” Global Lithium Managing Director Ron Mitchell said.
“Global Lithium is committed to developing a fair, reasonable and mutually beneficial Native Title Mining Agreement in partnership with Kakarra Part B and we look forward to building a long-term partnership with the Kakarra people through ongoing exploration, development and operation of the Manna Lithium Project,” Mitchell added.
