“Yankuang Bauxite Resourses” complete with the Yancoal logo.
If you thought they were gone, then think again.
The 100% Chinese state-owned company looks set to make a return to Toodyay in October at the ag show. In what form is yet to be seen, but not so long ago they were here doing exploration and trading under the now terminated name BAJV which was a JV 70% owned by Yankuang Resources and 30% by BRL.
The promise of jobs had our shire completely blinded by their misguided views that mining would somehow save Toodyay, the question was always, from what?
At the peak of the push to mine here it created much unrest in our communities with Morangup smack bang in the firing line and now the new Mauravillo estate looks set to be heavily impacted if both the Felicitas and Fortuna mines become operational.
What type of propaganda will they have in store for us at this years show?
How many jobs will they promise?
How close will they be working with the Toodyay Shire?
Thanks to the M.6 mining policy council can continue to converse with mining companies without ever being questioned by their own constituents in relation to what is proposed here by mining companies.
90% of the resource sits on land owned by Peter Cook, who was previously quoted as saying he had made no deals with the Chinese, but if they came to him with a suitable deal to purchase his 20,000 plus acres of land, then he would sit down and negotiate.
Are talks once again underway?
It seems that straight answers are still hard to come by, but one thing is for sure, Chinese / Singaporean investors are buying up farms in the area, the Toodyay Shire where most of the resource is located now has the M.6 mining policy to eliminate being questioned by us their constituents, Yangkuang Bauxite Resources are sponsoring the Toodyay Show and our problems look set to reamerge.
What side of the fence will you sit on when the Chinese come back to town???
