- Chinese miner wants access to Perth gold
- Made bid for airport, national parks, suburbs
- WA Government must consider proposal
A CHINESE mining company has made an audacious bid to secure mining rights over the city of Perth.
HD Mining and Investment is seeking a mineral exploration licence from the West Australian Government over metropolitan areas of Perth to look for gold and other precious metals, reported The West Australian.
Documents submitted to the West Australian Department of Mines reveal the Chinese Government controlled company wants licences for Perth Airport, sections of the Swan River, two national parks and several suburbs including Ascot, Kalamunda and Lesmurdie.
West Australian Mining Minster Norman Moore warned the company its proposal would face intense scrutiny.
"Anyone can apply for a mining exploration licence but whether they get it or not is another thing," Mr Moore told The West Australian.
A spokesman for the Company said historical records indicated there was gold in the eastern regions of the city.
