Mt Carlton officially opened
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has welcomed the official opening of gold miner Evolution Mining’s A$200-million Mt Carlton gold/copper/silver project.
The project produced its first concentrate in March this year, following the commissioning of the 800 000 t/y plant. Mt Carlton was expected to produce some 720 000 oz of gold, 14.4-million ounces of silver and 25 000 t of copper in concentrate over a 12-year life-of-mine.
Newman said on Wednesday that the state government had identified the resources sector as a key pillar of the Queensland economy and noted that this mine demonstrated how resource developments could drive economic prosperity for the Queensland region.
“We are committed to cutting red tape, fast-tracking investment in the resources sector and maximising local business opportunities. Success stories like the Mt Carlton mine are why we can confidently ask resources companies to come and do business in Queensland,” he said.
Natural Resources and Mines Minister Andrew Cripps congratulated Evolution on opening its fourth mine in Queensland and commended its plans to continue exploration in Queensland.
“The company already operates gold mines at Cracow, Mt Rawdon and Pajingo and has committed to investing another $28-million in further exploration in Queensland,” Cripps said.
“It’s our hope that Evolution’s commitment to further exploration will expand the life of this mine and their other projects in Queensland.”
