NT govt funds study for common-user mine, processing facility

The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) has welcomed the Northern Territory government’s decision to invest in a feasibility study to construct a common-user mine and processing facility in Tennant Creek. Chief Minister Michael Gunner earlier this week announced that the feasibility study will determine the viability of the common-user mine and facility, which will allow small mining operations to get under way without the need for major investment in processing solutions.
