18/10/2023Katter, BobSelfI have been working hard to go back into mining. Mount Isa mines announced its closure of its copper stream division some 3 years ago which would also close the fertiliser plant. Costing the economy of Nth Qld over $4 thousand million dollars a year and some 4 thousand direct and indirect jobs. It s essential for myself and everyone else to put their shoulder to the wheel to provide copper ore or any other metal development in the arca to take place. My very extensive knowledge from when I was mining copper myself, such knowledge I still have, and I must disclose that there would be a benefit for myself.
