THE BAUXITE MINE
The Bauxite Hills Mine is located 95 kilometres north of Weipa on Western Cape York in Queensland.
The mine is a Direct Shipment Ore (DSO) mining operation in the internationally acclaimed Weipa bauxite region. Mining operations started mid-April 2018 and ceased 28 December 2018 with production of 2.037M WMT. In 2019 Calendar Year production is planned to increase to 3.5M WMT.
In early 2019 Metro is updating the 2017 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) to assess options to expand operations to 6.0Mtpa by Calendar Year 2021. The DFS will update the Resource and Reserve, renew the mine plan, assess operations to date and allow for improvements to be built into the expansion plan. The DFS has a strong focus on marketing, transhipping and ship loading functions.
Bauxite Hills Mine is a surface mining operation using bulldozers to clear trees, remove soil and minimal overburden. When mining is complete soil is progressively returned to mined areas using smaller equipment to ensure soil integrity and maximise rehabilitation success. No blasting is required with front-end loaders mining the bauxite and loading directly into road trains. Bauxite is hauled to port via dedicated haul roads, screened to a maximum product size of 100mm, fed into the barge loading facility and onto barges. Any oversize material from the screening process is crushed and loaded onto barges. Specialist tugs tow the barges down the Skardon River and beyond the river mouth where ocean going vessels (OGVs) are anchored. The OGVs are loaded using their own onboard cranes.
Mining operations are conducted only in the dry season; a notional 9-month period from April to December.
SAFETY
LOCAL EMPLOYMENT FOCUS
Bauxite Hills Mine employs ~ 200 people (including contractors) and has an indigenous workforce of ~40%* with about 95 –100 people always on-site. Metro provides regular direct charter flights, from Cairns and Injinoo, for all site personnel and contractors.
Bauxite Hills Mine continues to exceed Traditional Owner employment targets in the Ancillary Agreement. Metro is committed to our Traditional Owners and local communities who we regard as partners in this business.
BAUXITE SALES
Following initial shipments to China, Metro received a good response, executing sales agreements with 5 customers and all shipments delivered to contractual specifications.
Metro has sales contracts to cover ~75% of the upgraded 2019 production. ~2.2M WMT of 2019 planned production will be sold under a long–term off-take with Xinfa; with prices linked to an RMB denominated alumina price index. Pricing of the remainder of 2019 product sales are expected to be linked to the prevailing market price.
There is also demand for Metro’s bauxite from Chinese inland refineries where supply of domestic bauxite has been hindered by resource depletion, mine closures and environmental audits. Metro’s product specifications are well suited to the processing requirements of these refineries.
Bauxite price outlook remains positive. Chinese bauxite imports hit a record level in 2018 of over 81.0Mt. Bauxite prices remained strong at end 2018 and into 2019. Market predictions are for China to continue to import record levels of bauxite in 2019 due to environmental mine sanctions and a tightening of domestic bauxite supply.
Bauxite Hills Mine has an excellent safety culture with all personnel and contracting partners embracing a safe working environment. In the first year of operations no Lost Time Incidents were recorded. This achievement is due to a strong safety commitment instilled and supported at all levels at the Mine.
