Print[Ferro-alloys.com]An iron ore export project in Western Australia's north has been given environmental approval, on condition whales and dugongs in the area are strictly protected.
WA's Environmental Protection Authority have given the green light for Forge Resources to construct and operate an export facility at Balla Balla, midway between Port Hedland and Karratha.
The facility is intended to export about six million tonnes of magnetite concentrate product per year from the Balla Balla mine site, with barges to transfer the material to a vessel 20 km offshore.
Environmental factors including impacts to nearby mangroves and algal mats, and local wildlife including turtles, dugongs and humpback whales were considered.
