Carmichael mine $74-million contract Arrium Steel Adani
For those who are following the progress of the Adani Carmichael mine development in the Queensland Galilee Basin, the following article provides additional background information on Arrium; the company who has won the contract to provide the entire double tracked rail lines from Abbot Point to The Carmichael mine.
The news release confirmed the $74-million deal to buy railway steel from Arrium’s Whyalla steelworks in South Australia.
The contract says Adani will contract Arrium to supply 54,000 tonnes of steel for the proposed 400-kilometre railway line linking its proposed Carmichael coal mine with Abbot Point on the coast.
The Adani contract is a real life saver for Arrium, after struggling to stay in business due to a tightening of the local steel market. Jobs were in danger of being lost as well as a potential take over by interested parties.
South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy chief executive Rebecca Knol said the deal was a vital breakthrough for Arrium’s and the city of Whyalla.
Proposed Adani Carmichael mine to Abbot Point rail link
Adani is also seeking a $900 million taxpayer-subsidised loan�for the rail line to the Abbot Point coal terminal.
“There is more work to be done but this contract is a major step forward,” Adani Australia chief executive officer Jeyakumar Janakaraj said.
