The Western Australian Government has followed the Federal Government in granting conditional approval for Aquilla's iron ore project in the West Pilbara, in which the company  holds a 50 per cent interest in a joint venture with American Metals and coal International.

 

The project will see extensive infrastructure construction connecting rail services to the company's iron ore operations.

 

In a statement to the ASX, the company announced an Environmental Protection Authority report will be released in the first quarter of next year, with approval expected in the second quarter.
