The Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) has approved Brightstar Resources' (ASX:BTR,OTCQB:BTRAF) mining development and closure proposal for its Lady Shenton gold project at Menzies.

Lady Shenton holds a cut-off grade of 0.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, with 2,590 kilotonnes at 1.5 g/t in the indicated category and 2,990 kilotonnes at 1.6 g/t inferred gold.

It forms part of Brightstar’s Menzies gold project, which is located adjacent to the Goldfields Highway and about 130 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie.

“This (approval) signifies a key milestone for the development of our Menzies assets, which once in operation will represent the first mining to occur since the successful Selkirk mining JV in 2024,” said Brightstar Managing Director Alex Rovira in a Wednesday (January 14) announcement.
