G'day Mick
Yes mate, the plot is always thickening when it comes to mining and the greedy government ~ Federal, State and Local for that matter.
The Kintyre uranium feild and it's
camp ~ "
Camp Tracey" were sitting idle for years because of economic factors, more than Australias 3
mine policy.
Camp Tracey was dismanteled and the area rehabilitated, then it's all back to the mining industry and it's on again because it is all good with the government(s) and the poisonous crap is worth mining.
It was announced in the print media a couple of days ago, that the uranium concentrate will be trucked from Kintyre to the Kalgoorlie refiner, down the
Marble Bar road and Great Northern Highway etc to Kal.
You seemed surprised at the annexation of Kintyre from the Rudall RiverN/P ~ Your National Park ~ don't be too surprised at what the sneaky buggers get up to when the miners wan't bits of any public land because the government just love taking the big bucks and doing next to zip for it.
There are plans in the future for extraction of Gold and Platinum somewhere inside the park boundaries, but that's supposed to be a secret OK !!
The Marrandoo Iron Ore Project at the base of
Mount Bruce in the Karijini N/P ~ also your National Park ~ was extricated from within the boundaries of Karijini N/P by the Labour ( Carmen
Lawrence ) Government in WA, back in the 1990's. Yes sneaky people doing sneaky deals and you don't even know about any of it until the deals are done !!!
Safe travells:
