This disclosure process provides an opportunity for stakeholders to review the documents and offer valuable feedback on the proposed environmental and social management measures for the project. The public disclosure period will be open for 120 days, starting from 20th December 2024. During this time, we encourage all interested parties - including community members, organisations, and individuals - to carefully review the documents and submit any comments or concerns they may have.
