What is all the fuss about? Miners have had tenements on land around here for years and it will never happen.
Yes there have been numerous companies that have done exploration on private properties in the area over many years, but given the exploration has mainly been on private land, it is difficult for the miners to get enough land owners in one location to agree to exploration, let alone mining, and given transport restraints and the distance between properties and the rail links, most projects don’t even look slightly feasible.
Fact
This miner has managed to get a 55 square km area owned by a small number of adjoining land owners, most of which own multiple properties from Wundowie to the Avon River, and they intend to move the ore from farm land where it will be open cut / strip mined to a rail siding (yet to be built) on the Avon river by way of a 14 km conveyor belt, which if built will go under or over Toodyay Road, this means:
- Minimal trucks on the roads.
- This also means that this provides the perfect scenario for the miner.
- We should not be complacent about this proposed mine.
