A former WIM employee faces fraud charges over false documents in a major Victorian mining project approval.
A 55-year-old former WIM Resource employee, Murray Ross Wilson, has been charged with falsifying documents related to the Avonbank Mineral Sands Project in Victoria, appearing in court on September 29, 2025.
He faces three counts tied to false submissions during the Environmental Effects Statement process, which helped secure approval for a 38-year mining operation on farmland.
Wilson, suspended by the company, plans to contest the charges, with his lawyer seeking a fast-tracked trial due to reputational harm and ongoing cybercrime analysis.
The case, set for October 8, could impact future mining approvals, as a fraud conviction may affect licensing eligibility.
The project, backed by Chinese interests, has drawn local opposition over land use, health concerns, and the integrity of public submissions.
Victoria holds 39% of Australia’s zircon reserves and is prioritizing critical minerals development.
