Arc Infrastructure<\/a> has signed a new agreement with iron ore miner Gold Valley that will see around 1.2 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of iron ore transported from West Kalgoorlie to the Port of Esperance on the Arc Network.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Based in Perth<\/a>, Gold Valley is involved in exploration, development and production of iron ore assets in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n

The deal is linked to Gold Valley\u2019s Wiluna West Iron Ore Project and will commence on 30 September, starting with three return train paths a week.<\/p>\n

Arc Infrastructure General Manager Commercial Nathan Speed said the agreement reflected Arc\u2019s ongoing commitment to increasing freight on rail and was a great boost for the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe deal with Gold Valley is a significant vote of confidence in the Yilgarn iron ore region and we are thrilled to secure a new customer who has both an existing operation and significant growth aspirations,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also pleased from a community perspective, as we know that more freight moved on rail translates to safer and less congested roads and lower emissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to the commencement of Gold Valley\u2019s rail task later this month, and to supporting them as they look to grow their operation moving forward.”<\/p>\n

Gold Valley Chief Executive Officer Scott Meacock said the agreement was a significant milestone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe move onto rail represents a significant step in the growth of the Gold Valley Group and toward securing the long-term resilience of the Wiluna West Iron Ore Project operations,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited by this first step and the opportunity to expand our presence in the Wiluna to Esperance corridor by working closely with all stakeholders, including Arc Infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to all involved in supporting this new stage of our operations.”<\/p>\n
