Western Australian Environment Minister Albert Jacob has given his approval for a 160 km railway line and a 40 km conveyor system to link the Pilbara Iron Ore Project (PIOP), being developed by Flinders Mines, with the proposed Balla Balla Infrastructure (BBI) port, in the Pilbara. The approval allows Rutila Resources to construct and operate the railway line and conveyor system, which company chairperson Nichols Curtis on Wednesday described as a “critical piece of infrastructure to advance the vision for its project into a reality”.
