September was another excellent month for Bauxite Hills with production levels across all areas being the strongest since operations commenced, continuing a very successful quarter. Greater consistency and therefore improved productivity was evident across all aspects of the logistics chain. Mining and haulage is benefitting from excellent machine availabilities, the barge loading facility is now sustainable at higher levels, and shiploading rates have been assisted by better productivity and returning vessels that have previously performed strongly.

Metro Mining Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Finnis, said:

“The mining and shipping results continue to improve as we build our operational knowledge and experience. Recent incremental changes to our haulage, loading and transhipping systems are yielding positive results and reflect the commitment and dedication of the entire team, particularly in identifying areas of process improvement.

The mine is ideally placed to maintain current levels for the remainder of the operating year and is on track to meet the production and shipping guidance of 3.3-3.5M WMT for 2019”.
