GROUP 6 Metals (G6M) executives and senior management hosted raw materials sourcing, logistics, financing and marketing services firm Traxys for a site visit at the Dolphin Tungsten Mine on King Island this week.
Construction at Dolphin is nearing completion, with the first concentrate on target for Q2. G6M entered a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) to explore opportunities for providing renewable energy to the Dolphin Tungsten Mine.
Following the announcement earlier this month of the MOU, FFI Director East Coast and New Zealand Eva Hanly said,” FFI is working to help develop a new green energy and green hydrogen industry in Tasmania as well as deliver the local jobs and economic opportunity that can follow.
“This partnership with Group 6 Metals to look into powering its existing mine site with renewable energy is a really exciting prospect for us, as is the potential to use surplus power to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives and kickstart the local industry.”
