Toro Energy Limited – Wiluna Uranium Project
5 Extent of Activity Covered by the Management Plan The Project Area is located in the Shire of Wiluna in the sparsely populated Murchison region of Western Australia’s Mid West. The town of Wiluna, located 960 km north east of Perth, is the principal centre in the Shire. The town lies along the Goldfields Highway which connects Wiluna to Leinster and to Meekatharra. Wiluna township is the gateway to the Canning Stock Route. The Gunbarrel Highway extends from Wiluna to Alice Springs. The nearest regional centre to Wiluna is Kalgoorlie (population 28,000, located 540 km south southeast of Wiluna). The mining industry is currently the largest employer in the Wiluna Shire, accounting for about 43per cent of all jobs. Many heritage surveys have been carried out in the Wiluna region in the past. As a result, registered DIA sites which occur within current tenements which may form part of the Project are listed in the table below.

It is not yet known whether any of the sites listed in the table above would need to be disturbed to allow construction and execution of the Project. The ERMP for the Project will include a discussion of Aboriginal heritage within the Project Area and the methods used for heritage surveys as a basis for analysing the current status of heritage values and how they may be affected by Project implementation.
