ALTAMIN Limited announced that it has been granted an Exploration Licence (EL) for the Campagnano project by the Lazio Regional Government. In addition, Altamin has received an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) exclusion for the Ferento EL from the Lazio Regional Government, with the second and final step being an EL assessment by the same regional authority, which will commence immediately. Exploitation of high-temperature geothermal waters for electricity production is a mature and well understood industry in Italy which started at the beginning of the 20th century in Tuscany, to the north of the Lazio region where the ELs are situated.

The geothermal systems of Tuscany and Lazio are amongst Italy's most productive and prospective.
