Cairn Hill readies for restart

The South Australian government has given privately owned Cu-River Mining Australia some A$397 000 in funding to assist with the restart of the Cairn Hill iron-ore mine. The funding, in the form of a grant through the Regional Development Fund, was expected to assist in creating more than 60 jobs at the Cairn Hill operation, and will be used to establish the infrastructure required for the operation, including the processing plant, road upgrades for heavy vehicle traffic, water lines and electricity supply.
