Direct requests to the Mineral Resources Division. 19/11/2015–204706 Guideline for the application, public consultation and assessment processes for the Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) Iron Road is proposing to develop a magnetite iron ore mining and infrastructure project on Eyre Peninsula. The proposed Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) consists of a mine and associated infrastructure developments which provide the logistics pathways or support for the mining operations. The applicant for the mining lease is IRD Mining Operations Pty Ltd (IRD Mining), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iron Road Limited. The applicant for the infrastructure developments is Iron Road Limited. References to Iron Road in this guideline may be taken to refer to IRD Mining as well as Iron Road Limited. Iron Road’s CEIP is a proposed magnetite iron ore mining and infrastructure project located on Eyre Peninsula. The project proposes a mine to be located approximately 25k m southeast of Wudinna and east of Warramboo and associated rail, power, water, port and accommodation infrastructure developments to be located between the proposed mine and the proposed deep sea port approximately 7 km south of Port Neill. The project proposals are subject to assessment under three separate State and Commonwealth laws. To ensure clarity and access for the public to all aspects of the project, government is undertaking a single consultation process and will prepare a consolidated assessment for the CEIP. The proposed mine will be assessed under the Mining Act 1971 with the mining lease application being supported by a Mining Proposal (MP). The MP describes the existing environment, type of operations proposed, and an assessment of the environmental impacts of the proposed operations and a mine rehabilitation and closure plan. The mine includes an open pit mine, integrated mine waste rock and tailings landform and magnetite ore processing plant. The planned ore extraction would result in an open pit void approximately 6.2 km long, up to 2.4 km wide and up to 630 m deep at the end of the mine life. The integrated mine waste landform to the south of the pit would be approximately semicircular, and have a radius of approximately 3.5 km, covering an area of approximately 2000 ha at the end of the mine life. The associated infrastructure elements of the project will be assessed as a Major Development, requiring an assessment of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the Development Act 1993. These elements are a deep water port at Cape Hardy, an infrastructure corridor containing rail, powerlines, a borefield and water pipeline, and a worker accommodation camp planned at Wudinna (see Figure 1). The EIS process under the Development Act has been accredited by the Commonwealth government to assess matters of national environmental significance (potential impacts to Southern Right Whales due to shipping movements in the Spencer Gulf) under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999) (EPBC). 1 Applications and assessment of the CEIP by the South Australian Government A The South Australian • There is significant public interest Government has received in the proposal; 10 week applications in accordance • The large scale and high public with the requirements of the complexity of the proposal; consultation Mining Act 1971 (for the mine), • The public consultation period the Development Act 1993 (for coincides with public holidays. period has been the associated infrastructure) determined including actions that trigger The Department of State the EPBC Act.

Lock Proposed infrastructure corridor (EIS) 20 km Proposed deep sea Cape Figure 1 Mining Application and port (EIS) Hardy Development Application Elements 2 Legislative requirements The Mining Act 1971 Under Section 35 of the Mining Act a mining lease application must be accompanied by a mining proposal that complies with the Mining Act and the relevant Minister’s Determination under the Mining Regulations 2011. A mining proposal has been submitted to government as part of the mining lease application. Section 35A(1) or 53(2) of the Mining Act requires the Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy to publish a notice in a newspaper inviting the public to make written submissions in relation to the application. The Development Under Section 46 of the Development Act, the Minister for Planning Act 1993 can declare a proposed development a Major Development if he or she believes such a declaration is appropriate or necessary for proper assessment of the proposed development, and where the proposal is considered to be of major economic, social or environmental importance. In this case, following a declaration by the Minister, the Development Assessment Commission set the guidelines (issues to be addressed) and determined that an EIS should be prepared. Iron Road has now submitted the EIS for public consultation release. The government consultation process on the MP and EIS provides the opportunity for public comment ahead of an assessment process before any decisions are made. The government consultation process on the MP and EIS provides the opportunity for public comment ahead of an assessment process before any decisions are made. 3 Why have public consultation? Whilst mining and development are important for the economic development of South Australia, it is also important that the potential benefits and impacts on the environment and on the broader community Government are identified and considered in assessing new applications. seeks to make Government seeks to make better decisions by bringing the voices of better decisions communities and stakeholders into the issues that are relevant to them. by bringing Government recognises that: the voices of • It is essential to engage with people and communities who are directly communities and affected by or have an interest in the proposal. stakeholders into • Communities have a wealth of knowledge about their local environment the issues that are that may not be available to the proponent or government through formal records. relevant to them • Benefits for both the local community and the proponent may be identified through two-way flow of information between the community “ and proponents. 4 Application, consultation and assessment process Iron Road prepares applications for the Central Eyre Iron Project Mining Act 1971, Development Act 1993 Mining Regulations 2011 EIS Guidelines Ministerial Determinations, Environment Protection and Guidelines Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 MP and EIS Iron Road submits a Iron Road submits an mining lease application and environmental impact statement (EIS) documents mining proposal (MP) released for public comment.

  • Electranet Pty Ltd Eyre Peninsula Analysis
    ELECTRANET PTY LTD EYRE PENINSULA ANALYSIS WS:ANZ_Active:41075381:v1 08 June 2018 Mr. Brad Parker ElectraNet Pty Ltd 52-55 East Terrace Adelaide, SA 5000 AUSTRALIA Dear Mr. Parker, RE: Eyre Peninsula Analysis AME Consulting Pty Ltd (“AME”) has been engaged by ElectraNet Pty Ltd (“ElectraNet”, or the “Client”) to assess the Iron Ore projects on the Eyre Peninsula and discuss the likelihood of the projects commencing over the next 20 years (the “Report”). We understand and acknowledge that ElectraNet will use this report, in whole or part, with their advisors, on their planning report for network upgrades on the Eyre Peninsula. Production and Cost Analysis Available data varies greatly between operations and projects. Much information is not reliable due to language difficulties, the confidential nature of the information, the inability to estimate the reliability of AME’s sources and general lack of data. Consequently, much information has to be estimated and the quality, accuracy and completeness of the resulting cost comparisons will reflect this and cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, forecast costs embody a number of significant assumptions with respect to exchange rates and other technical variables. Because of these factors, direct comparability between individual projects may be limited and, as such, our supply and cost estimates must be treated with caution and cannot be relied upon. Supply/Demand Analysis In addition, AME has supplied tables of historical data and estimated future supply, demand and market trends by compiling, interpreting and analysing engineering, supply, economic, statistical and technical information from many third-party sources. Such company and country statistics usually contain inconsistencies and utilise sampling data techniques and, thus, should not be relied upon.

  • The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) Identifies The
    The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) identifies the following four projects within the Eyre & Western Region as priorities ‐• 6‐Star $500m International Holiday Resort • Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries • Super School in Whyalla Education & Training Precinct • Energy Transmission and Generation on EP. This information is sourced (acknowledged) from the RDSA Infrastructure Priorities Report. The priorities require updating to reflect changes since the report was published and the report, within the context of this region and ISA’s objectives, requires a broader perspective. For instance RDAWEP has successfully supported and advocated for; the $100m Super School (due for completion in 2021) and has broadened the agenda to advocate for an integrated Education and Innovation Precinct (EIP) an $280m upgrade of the energy transmission network (Electranet due to commence construction in 2020) and is progressing various energy generation projects across the region – however the planned transmission upgrade will be at maximum capacity when completed and therefore requires greater capacity than is planned Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries which is a catch‐all for the ports of Thevenard, Port Lincoln, Lucky Bay, Whyalla, approved port at Cape Hardy together with bulk handling, storage and transport network efficiencies, including road & rail, for agriculture, mining and processing – this catch‐all represents many projects that drives efficiency, enhances global competitiveness and collectively exceeds $1bn, ranging from maintenance and enhancement of existing assets (i.e. dredging Thevenard) to building new Infrastructure (i.e. Cape Hardy Port and connection to national rail grid) Early high level master planning, identification of key stakeholders, location & land acquisition and potential partners for a multi experience International Resort.
