“BHP is not considering open cut mining on any part of the Caroona ELA”.

For now.  Note that ‘considering’ is in the present tense.  CCAG call on BHP to rule out open cut mining on any part of the Caroona ELA and guarantee that they will not pass the lease to another mining company to open cut the Caroona ELA either.

 

Where are they going to put their extensive, heavy mining infrastructure?   Do BHP intend to clear cut Doona State Forest to make way?


CCAG call on BHP to rule out placing their coal elevator, washing plant or coal loader on Doona State Forest, an important piece of remnant pilliga scrub habitat and a place of great significance to the Kamilaroi people.
