RE: Transport of ore to Telfer15 Sep 2020 09:55
Exactly Stuart - the supporting statement that was unearthed says the following
An appropriate infrastructure corridor needs to be identified and a number of alternative methods to
transport ore from Havieron to the Telfer processing facility are being considered, including:
• Truck haulage;
• Conveyor;
• Rail; and
• Pipeline
Studies are underway to assess the suitability of the above modes of transport as well as the location
of the transport corridor. The location and mode of transport option will depend on the tonnages
required to be transported, the topography, environmental and cultural heritage considerations and
will be subject to all necessary permits and regulatory approvals.
Pipeline is an interesting alternative that nobody has discussed especially if they are going to grade and concentrate the ore at Havieron - they would just create a slurry and pump it to Telfer.
