MONTO SIGNS WATER TRANSPORT
AGREEMENT FOR GOONDICUM PROJECT
Monto Minerals wholly owned subsidiary, Monto Resources Pty Ltd has entered into
a Water Transport Agreement with the Queensland Government's SunWater for the
transport of water to the Goondicum project in central Queensland. SunWater is
a leading water industry company providing water infrastructure and supply
services throughout Queensland, Australia and the region.
Under the Agreement SunWater will build, own and operate a 35km pipeline to
transport water to the Goondicum project from Monto's bores in the Mulgildie
Basin to the south of Monto. The pipeline capacity has been designed to meet
the water needs of the Goondicum project for up to 25 years and will also
provide supplementary domestic and stock supply for landholders as part of
compensation agreements. Design detail, survey and procurement activities have
already commenced and construction of the water pipeline is scheduled for
completion in late May 2007.
Announcing the Agreement today, Monto Chief Executive Geoff Moore said that the
SunWater Agreement was an important milestone in the ongoing development of the
Goondicum project.
'Site works at the multi-product Goondicum Industrial Minerals project commenced
in August this year and construction of the Goondicum processing plant is
scheduled for completion in April/May 2007. Commissioning of the plant will
commence upon the delivery of water from the pipeline.'
Goondicum is scheduled to commence sales of high quality industrial minerals to
Australian and international customers in the second half of calendar 2007.
