APP-002259: Lodestone's Dordabis Iron Ore Mining Project and Associated Infrastructure: Power Supply to the mine through a new 132 kV and 11kV overhead powerline and associated infrastructure
Lodestone is currently finalizing their Feasibility Study for the originally planned "Dordabis Iron Ore Mining Project and Associated Infrastructure" on ML 182. However, Lodestone now propose a number of changes to the previously assessed / approved (2013 EIA) project scope relating to the "original project". Lodestone is, amongst others, proposing the construction of a new overhead powerline from the Auas substation to the mine. A new 132 kV powerline is proposed for power supply from the Auas NamPower substation (near the C23/B6 roads intersection) to the mine. The Powerline will be approximately 37 km long. The final 1.5 km of power line from a proposed new (dedicated) Lodestone Substation to the mine itself will be a 11 kV power line.
