SOUTHERN PORTS AUTHORITY
— GOLD VALLEY IRON ORE AGREEMENT
1081. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Ports:
I refer to the minister's
announcement in June 2024 of the agreement between the Southern Ports Authority
and Gold Valley Iron Ore—GVIR—to ship 1.5 million tonnes per
annum through the port of Esperance.
(1) What is the term of the
agreement?
(2) Is the agreement predicated on
full cost recovery based on 1.5 million tonnes throughput per annum?
(3) In the event
that GVIR increases throughput or another iron ore producer commences exporting
through the port, will the iron ore be trucked to Kalgoorlie, then transferred
to rail or will the Leonora–Kalgoorlie rail line be utilised?
