Not sure if Iron Valley Transaction string is relevant for this discussion but lets bear with it.

The EPA website (link attached) has the full document from IOH regarding their wanting to build and run a 10Mton port facility. The report is very thorough and will show IOH are leveraging the fact there is already a port under construction and extensive consultation or fauna, fish, foreshore etc etc has been completed. Looks like the land has already fallen back under the control of the state so not sure want that means for the Dampier Port Authority DPA as owners of the port. The land requirements for IOH's operation is considerably less (320 Hectares)and their impact on the land, foreshore, seabed etc is minimal.

Makes a good read.

Anyway IOH want to build and run stage one, a 10Mton facility with capability to be expanded to 20Mton to accommodate other Iron ore hopefuls.

The Proposal will be staged in development. IOH expects to
utilise the port capacity up to approximately 10 Mtpa (Stage 1)
and will be the foundation Proponent for the Cape Preston East
facilities.
Does the

The land and waters on which the Proposal is based is
currently secured by the State of Western Australia under
Section 19 of the Mining Act 1978.
Section 91 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (LAA) is being
