A perfectly positioned greenfield block on the corner of 163 Abbott Street, Cairns, QLD will hold two towers, the first being a 222-room hotel with function rooms, restaurants and bars. The second, a 110-room apartment complex, will be expertly constructed and released for sale.

The development will be a landmark complex reflecting the lush rainforests surrounding Cairns. Development will begin mid 2017 with completion expected mid-2019.

The Ammaroo Phosphate Project is located 200 km southeast of Tennant Creek. The project area contains the billion tonne 40 km long Ammaroo Phosphate JORC Resource.  A BFS is currently underway and an EIS is being compiled for an initial development of a phosphate rock concentrate operation producing up to 2 million tonnes of concentrate product per annum for export to Asian phosphoric acid producers.

The Amrun Project is a greenfield bauxite operation in the Weipa / Aurukun region of Western Cape York in Far North Queensland. The new development will eventually replace the existing East Weipa mine centre and develop the high quality bauxite reserves available south of the Weipa Peninsula.

In late 2015, the Rio Tinto Board approved development of the first stage of the project, up to 22.8mtpal. Construction of the Amrun Project will take approximately three years and provide employment for 1,100 (at peak).
