This is a basic map clearly showing a historic cluster of small abandoned mine sites in the vicinity of the Mann River, one of the principal tributaries of the Clarence River which is the largest coastal river in New South Wales.
The old Cangai Mine site is now part of a Castillo Copper Limited exploration lease and its proximity to the Mann River is apparent.
As the crow flies the distance between this site and the Mann River is estimated to be less than 4 kms and Cangi Mine is also bounded on three sides by three creeks which feed into the Mann.
Following North Coast Voices posting Castillo Copper Limited's Jackadgery Project: has spinning the truth already begun? on 17 September 2018 one Clarence Valley resident sent me an email which pointed out a curious ommission in Castillo Copper Limited exploration licence application this mining company:
"However, under Section 19.4
beneath the heading: “Surface water
sources”, is the following requirement:
“Provide details of the
existing surface water sources in the area that are likely to be affected by
the activity. Provide details of the nearest watercourse/s and the distance
between the proposed disturbance area/s and the nearest watercourse/s”.
Castillo's Response
“The proposed activity area bounded by Bobward creek from the west and
Smelter creek from the east. The distance from disturbance area to Bobward
creek is 550 – 620m; the distance to Smelter creek is about 500m. The water for
drilling if required will most likely will be taken from Bobward creek.
Permission has been sought and granted by the landowner”.
No mention of the Mann or Clarence in
the entire document.
Talk about "dodgy". Castillo's
credibility is wearing very thin indeed,"
