WA Mining Jobs – Breaking News for Rinehart and Roy Hill Mine
The ANZ bank has now approved $US1 billion ($1.09 billion AUS) to finance Gina Rinehart`s $10 billion Roy Hill iron ore project in WA.
This in effect ensures more cashflow for the mining magnate and means more WA mining jobs.
The new funding reduces outgoing costs associated with construction and as such the creation of an estimated 8000 new mining jobs in WA. Rinehart is reducing mining costs out of her own back pocket, meaning the company`s capital commitment is reduced, making complete financial sense.
Let`s bring you up to scratch
The Roy Hill mine project is estimated to be around $10 billion and is the first mine to be built by Mrs Rinehart, Australia`s richest person. Rinehart is backing the project with fierce certainty and as such has invested more than $1 billion of her own money.
Hancock wants to acquire around $3�billion in additional investment from commercial banks for the Roy Hill project, solidifying it as the biggest mining project finance deal in history. According to BRW today, ANZ`s bridging finance is viewed as a crafty bid by the bank to win as much of the deal as possible. It seems investors are also in support of ANZ`s financial injection with ANZ share prices rising in response to the announcement.
Despite the negative sentiment surrounding Australia`s mining industry, this type of billion dollar capital investment in mining projects from commercial banks, investors and credit agencies alike, reveals the magnitude of the WA mining industry; fiercely opposing� popular headline grabbers deeming the end of Australian mining industry. Hancock has repeatedly shared that she remains positive that she will secure the money by the end of 2013.
What this means for WA Mining jobs
- Mrs Rinehart will need to invest in a significant workforce to meet capital commitments for the mine, which includes rail lines and a port to ship the iron ore to Asia.
- During the construction phase (from late 2012-2014) 8500� temporary WA construction jobs will need to be filled, while during the operational phase of the project (from 2015) around 2000 permanent WA jobs in mining will be created.
- The Roy Hill 1 Project is of an exceedingly impressive size with 2.4billion tonnes of low phosphorous iron ore resources, located in the Chichester Ranges of the Pilbara region of West Australia.
- It is expected that most mining job positions will be FIFO from Perth, with news just in that�Qantas has inked a three-year agreement to provide FIFO services to Rinehart’s billion dollar�Roy Hill iron ore mine. It is worth noting that�mining geared aviation is expected to soar by 50 to 70 per cent over the next few years, according to�QantasLink executive manager Narendra Kumar.
- Hancock is hoping that the iron ore mine will be shipping its cargo in September 2015, with an expected production of around 55 million tonnes a year (Mtpa).
- The engineering, procurement and construction contract for Roy Hill was recently awarded to Korean company Samsung C&T (the world`s largest consumer electronics company) and Alinta Energy won the power supply contract for the project; meaning some of the world largest companies are backing Rinehart`s mining investment, again proof of the projects expected enormity.
- The Chinese government recently stated they won`t be happy with anything less than 7% growth and as China is Australia`s largest importer of iron-ore. Despite the high prices of iron ore and the volatility of the market, Australian workers looking for a mining job in WA can expect longevity in mining the precious commodity.
- The Roy Hill mine is expected to be the fourth largest iron ore producing mining company behind Andrew Forrests Fortescue Metals Group which has significant mining operations in the Chichester Ranges.
Peter Evans, iMINCO.net shared his insight, “It`s good to see one of the major four banks getting behind Gina Rinehart`s Roy Hill mine and shows ANZ has faith in the Australian mining industry. In effect you will see this speed up the project and it is expected around 8000 mining jobs will open up in the very near future, with production set to commence as close as 2015″�
For workers looking for Roy Hill jobs or work in the WA mining industry,� you need to keep in mind that now is a crucial time to start up-skilling, as a mine like this creates a small town and this means it takes huge amounts of people to build and eventually run it.
