Early works continue apace at the Mount Morgan Tailings Processing and Rehabilitation Project. Our deep collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development has enabled rapid progress on the construction of a coffer dam which is nearing completion. This story in the local newspaper – the famous Argus – describes the innovative technology (driverless, remote-controlled bulldozers) being used to build the dam between the open cut pit and Sandstone Gully.
Heritage Minerals to Weigh up Acid Production Potential
Thank you IQ Industry Queensland We are excited to be initiating the feasibility study for our Stage 2 Project – sulphuric acid production. Like our Stage 1 Project – the gold-copper Mount Morgan Tailings Processing and Rehabilitation Project – we anticipate this project being completed in close collaboration with the three levels of government in Australia and, very likely, with significant international partnerships. While the output will be sulphuric acid, we foresee the project being, at heart, a major economic development project in Central Queensland. In addition, it will enable Australia’s critical minerals investments, and further reduce the risk of acid mine drainage from the old Mount Morgan mine site.
Australia's Circular Economy Framework
We are thrilled to be featured in the Australian Government’s recent landmark report – Australia’s Circular Economy Framework – as an example of circularity in the resources sector.
Australia's Circular Economy
It was pleasing to see Australia’s Productivity Commission’s recent report on circular economy and its reference to the work of Heritage Minerals’ re-commercialising the Mount Morgan Tailings Reprocessing and Rehabilitation Project. The technical approach and business model built by Heritage Minerals will surely be replicated elsewhere in Australia and the World, and it will be a showcase for collaboration between Australia’s three levels of government and the private sector. The Mount Morgan project will be producing sustainable metals and simultaneously delivering substantial environmental rehabilitation from an abandoned mine site.
