ROY HILL
MINING
Leaving A Legacy Another reason for the significance of the Roy Hill project is the immense economic and social benefits it brings to Australia .
Construction of the massive project , including railway and port facilities , has created around 5,600 jobs at its peak , and ongoing operations will require 2,000 workers . The project has generated more than 39,000 direct and indirect jobs , including 600 people currently working directly for Roy Hill , which will increase to more than 2,000 when the project reaches full production .
Another unique aspect of the Roy Hill project is their approach to reducing their environmental footprint . According to Fitzgerald , Roy Hill already has plans in place for rehabilitation and mine reclamation for the project .
“ The nature of the Roy Hill deposit means we will be mining from multiple shallow pits , this allows us to progressively backfill mined pits using the overburden waste material being removed as a result of mining from each pit . These mined out pits will then be rehabilitated using previously removed original topsoil , which facilitates better growth of
