PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The operator of the $10-billion Roy Hill iron-ore mine, in Western Australia, has launched the Roy Hill Community Foundation, which would focus on delivering education, training, employment, community development, business development and culture and arts programmes to local communities.

Roy Hill project contractors and business partners are also supporting the A$10-million foundation.

“This foundation brings together the skills and resources of companies for the benefit of the community. The foundation’s partners are driven by a belief that more effective outcomes are achieved through a collaborative and integrated approach. It is a vehicle for companies to join forces to address community issues deemed too hard to tackle on our own,” said Roy Hill CEO Barry Fitzgerald.

“With a downturn in the resources sector, we are well aware of concerns within communities of the potential loss of support from companies for community programmes.”

Fitzgerald said that by bringing together companies, Roy Hill could pool resources and financial investments to ensure continued support to communities.

The Roy Hill project was expected to ship its first ore by September this year, and would take 30 months to ramp-up to full capacity of 55-million tonnes a year.
