MT MAGNET GOLD PTY LTD (MMG)

1080 BAITING

Mt Magnet Gold Pty Ltd (MMG) would like to advise the community of Mt Magnet of their intention to lay 1080 poison oats for the control of rabbits. Baiting areas are within recently rehabilitated areas on MMG Mining Leases and have been fenced and sign-posted. MMG intend to commence baiting on the 12th of June 2014 and complete the baiting program on the 12th of September 2014. Please be advised that 1080 is highly toxic, the consumption of an animal that has in-gested a lethal or sub-lethal dose of 1080 poses a serious risk of secondary poisoning to humans and animals. Access to MMG Mining Leases is restricted at all times, please ensure you do not enter these areas without authorisation from Mt Magnet Gold. The hunting or trapping of animals or removal of hides or carcasses on MMG Mining Leases is prohibited and MMG recommends pets and stock be restrained from entering baiting areas. If you would like further information about this baiting program please contact MMG’s Senior Environment Coordinator Dolly Pett, or Environmental Officer Jareth Howard, on 0417 069 828. Alternatively you can speak to a Biosecurity Officer at the Department of Agriculture and Food WA (DAFWA). More information about the use of 1080 is available from DAFWA’a website: www.agric.wa.gov.au
