The Aurukun Bauxite Project is a greenfield bauxite operation in the Aurukun region of Western Cape York, Far North Queensland. The bauxite will be mined using conventional truck and loader operation, and ore will be processed in an on-site beneficiation plant.

Product ore will then be transported to a Coastal Loading Facility (CLF) from which it will then be transported by transhipment vessel to an offshore transhipment area and transferred to bulk carriers for export.

The project is anticipated to produce approximately 8 million dry product tonnes of bauxite per year over a life of mine of more than 20 years.

DELIVERY SCHEDULE
