Mallee Resources Limited announced that the status of the Avebury Nickel Mine in western Tasmania as advised to Tasmanian regulatory bodies (Mineral Resources Tasmania, Worksafe Tasmania and EPA Tasmania), has changed from care and maintenance to an operational mine site. The change comes after payment of the required environmental bond and the submission of the requisite operational plans. All safety protocols for the operation of the underground mine are in place.

Mining operations have commenced, with the first development cuts drilled and blasted.
