Cannington consists of an underground hard rock mine and surface processing facility, a road-to-rail transfer facility and a concentrate handling and ship loading facility at the Port of Townsville. In Q4 FY22 we transitioned to 100 per cent truck haulage to bring product to the surface.
Silver, lead and zinc are extracted from the ore using grinding, sequential flotation and leaching techniques that produce high-grade, marketable lead and zinc concentrates with a high silver content.
The deposit was first discovered as an anomaly in an aerial survey of the region, nearly 30 years ago, and production at the mine has been underway for more than 20 years.
We support the communities in the three local government areas which host our Cannington operations.
These are the McKinlay Shire where our mine site is located, the Cloncurry Shire which hosts our road to rail transfer and our ship loading facility in the City of Townsville. We back these communities by investing in infrastructure and buying and employing locally, when we can.
A metal increasingly in demand for batteries that store wind and solar energy and widely used for galvanising iron and steel to protect against corrosion. It’s long been used in construction because of its special properties.
