Ann: Mining Contractor at Granville Appoints Liquidators, page-383

Im just wondering if ore from the mainland would actually be allowed to enter the State of Tasmania for processing from a biosecurity stand point. I do know it's a no-no to send anything that has moved earth (earthmoving machinery) without first having a full Aqis quarrantine inspection into Tasmania.

I wonder if ore falls into the 'dirt' category or if it can be semi processed on the mainland to a point of Aqis clearance and then shipped to Granville for finishing/mixing/blending with the locally mined product and packaged for sale?
