The Friends of the Earth Radioactive Exposure Tour pulled into Dubbo on Tuesday and left early on Wednesday after its spokesman, Dr Jim Green, claimed Alkane Resources general manager NSW Mike Sutherland had agreed to talks on a "series of commitments that go above and beyond legal requirements" for the operating of the Dubbo Zirconia Project (DZP).

As the tour group headed to Broken Hill, Uranium Free Dubbo's Dave Mould said "somebody in our group" would pursue the talks with the company.

On Tuesday Mr Sutherland attended an "information night" on the DZP hosted by Friends of the Earth at Dubbo Scout Hall, where the Daily Liberal understands he came under fire.

The next day Alkane Resources' chief operations officer Nic Earner rejected Dr Green's claim and quashed the expectations of the activists.

"Dr Green and Mr Sutherland seemed to be talking at cross purposes," he said.

"The company has already increased its level of commitments well beyond the base legislation during the approval processes it has been through.

"The company considers these measures sufficient and has no intention of negotiating with special interest, anti-mining groups, who have stated continued opposition to the project ever going ahead at all."

Mr Earner noted the broader community had taken the opportunity to comment on the DZP in the two years leading up to its approval in May by the independent Planning Assessment Commission (PAC).

"PAC took those comments into account, and these are reflected, where appropriate, in the consent conditions," he said.

The chief operations officer reported that the "extensive conditions under our approval above base legislation" would be closely monitored and regulated by the Environment Protection Authority.

The DZP would be subject to an independent environmental audit process including public reporting of monitoring results, he said.

"Alkane is committed to working with the local community on environmental projects as demonstrated in the conservation work with the local Dubbo Field Naturalists to protect the Pink-tailed Worm-lizard and the whole trees from Tomingley Gold Mine for improving fish habitats by re-snagging in the Macquarie River," Mr Earner said.

On Wednesday Dr Green said some mines proved "problematic" despite having a stamp of approval.

"There's no way for the community to know whether it's going to be standard or sub-standard, but one way the company could break that impasse would be to make a series of commitments that go above and beyond its legal requirements," he said.

Dr Green suggested they might include water monitoring, transparency in the provision of information, and access to the mine by independent monitors.

The DZP is based on one of the world's largest in-ground resources of rare metals and rare earths at Toongi.

Alkane Resources reports that it will produce a strategic and alternative supply of zirconium (hafnium), niobium (tantalum), yttrium and rare earth elements to the global market.
