A ship-loader and concentrate storage facility at the Port of Townsville has been given the green light.
Mining Company CuDECO announced yesterday the Department of Environment and Resource Management had approved the development.
CuDECO Chairman Wayne McCrae says the approval is the final requirement for the facility, which will allow ship-loading of 2,000 tonnes per hour
and concentrate storage of 400,000 tonnes.
“The Storage Facility provides capacity to store the Company’s Native Copper Metal, Copper/Gold and Cobalt/Sulfur concentrates that will be produced and exported from the Company’s 100 percent
owned Rocklands Group Copper Project, located in Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia,” McCrae says.
