Oracle Power (AIM:ORCP), the AIM-listed international project developer, has submitted a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP) application to Western Australia's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for its Northern Zone Intrusive Hosted Gold Project.
The site sits 25 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie, close to the Golden Mile and the Super Pit.
Approval of the NVCP would authorise land clearing under Part V of the Western Australian Environmental Protection Act 1986, a required step before mining operations can begin.
The permit process has run alongside preparation of the Mine Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP), the operating approval needed to start mining, which remains on track for submission to the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration in early September.
"The completion and submission of the NVCP puts us another step closer to the Company monetising our key Northern Zone Gold Project near Kalgoorlie", said chief executive Naheed Memon.
She added that the company is working closely with funding partner MEGA Resources on finalising mine planning and scheduling ahead of the MDCP filing.
News Intelligence what this means for the company
Oracle Power has filed a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit for its Northern Zone gold project near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia—a prerequisite for mining operations. The permit submission advances a regulatory sequence: the company received its Mining Lease in July 2026, and the MDCP submission remains scheduled for early September. The NVCP is one of multiple approvals required before mining can begin, but the story does not disclose the permit's likelihood of approval or timeline.
The filing is a procedural step in a multi-stage approval process, not a material milestone in itself. Oracle Power's investment case hinges on MDCP approval and MEGA Resources' commitment to fully fund development and mining operations—neither of which this permit submission changes.
