flag Alcoa halts Perth Hills drilling over public and environmental push, citing water and forest concerns.

flag Alcoa has scrapped exploration drilling plans in the Perth Hills due to community and environmental opposition, citing concerns over water security and the jarrah forest. flag The decision affects areas in Armadale, Kalamunda, Mundaring, Beverley, and York, following a public consultation period and over 59,000 submissions opposing broader mining expansion. flag While Alcoa continues to push for mining growth at Myara North, Holyoake, O’Neil, and its Pinjarra refinery, environmental groups say the Perth Hills pause doesn’t address ongoing threats to the Northern Jarrah Forest, where plans to expand mining by 11,500 hectares over 20 years remain a major concern.
