Havilah Resources has lined up a port and transhipment route for its South Australian iron ore projects, signing a non-binding MoU to access a new export terminal on Spencer Gulf at Playford, close to Port Augusta.
Playford, where private operator Port Augusta Operations is working to refurbish and upgrade existing facilities to establish a modern iron ore terminal, is linked by existing railway networks to Havilah’s Braemar iron ore discoveries 300km away.
Havilah technical director Dr Chris Giles says Playford offers a favourable logistics solution with potential to make its deposits, which are readily upgradeable to a high-quality 65% Fe product, internationally competitive.
