Australia: Australian Bauxite has completed its second and largest shipment of cement-grade bauxite, comprising 35,913t, from its Bald Hill mine.
“We have now demonstrated to all our customers that we can load and ship large tonnage cargos of bauxite very efficiently from Bell Bay Port. It also demonstrates that our stockpiles of bauxite performs very well, having withstood the recent major floods in northern Tasmania, without degrading. This is another landmark step for the company,” said Australian Bauxite’s Chief Operating Officer, Leon Hawker.
The mining company intends to sell its bauxite products into three main markets including cement-grade bauxite for the production of high specification cement. It re-opened its Bald Hill Bauxite Project at Campbell Town in northern Tasmania in early August 2016 ahead of the scheduled date.
