Major iron ore project in the Pilbara one step closer

Updated August 09, 2011 13:49:25

 

 

The Environmental Protection Authority has recommended the State Government approve Aquila Resources' West Pilbara iron ore project.

 

The project involves the development of eight iron ore deposits south of Pannawonica, and a heavy-haulage railway from the mining area to the proposed new port at Anketell Point, north-east of Karratha.

 

The EPA says a number of conditions should be imposed on the project, including measures to protect rare flora and fauna.

 

The EPA report is subject to a two week appeal period.

 

Aquila says work is continuing with the State Government on the design of the proposed multi-user Anketell Port.
