PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Western Australia’s Environment Minister Albert Jacob has approved the development of a 25-million-tonne-a-year port facility being developed by ASX-listed Iron Ore Holdings (IOH).

The multi-user port was approved by the Environmental Protection Authority in May this year.

“IOH has been able to demonstrate to the different government agencies that the vision of a modest-scale and comparatively low-cost transshipping facility with a small environmental footprint, is achievable,” said MD Alwyn Voster.

He noted that with this approval, state and federal environmental approvals were now in place for the project, while all native title agreements had been secured, and the Notice of Intention to Take process, by the state government, was in progress.

The multi-user port will include a 1.4-km-long trestle jetty, a 20-million-ton-a-year stockyard, a permanent desalination plant, an access road corridor to the North Coast highway, office buildings, a fuel farm, waste management facilities, workshops and an accommodation camp.

The export facility would ship product from IOH’s Bungaroo South project, as well as its satellite deposits and from third-party users.

IOH would fund the development of the port facility, while management of the multi-user port would be left to the Dampier Port Authority.
