The study will help Atlantic undertake a full feasibility study on the mine-rail-port bauxite supply chain solution to form a joint venture to develop and obtain the necessary approvals for the project.
Atlantic has proposed a large-scale bauxite mining operation, which will be developed in stages, and a 260km third-party access heavy haul rail line which will transport mined bauxite from the Central Highlands to the coast.
Global engineering group Hatch will assist Atlantic in undertaking the development study.
