Four important groups of local, national and international visitors toured the Sino Iron project during May and June.
The visitors included CITIC Pacific Chairman Chang Zhenming and CITIC Pacific Managing Director Zhang Jijing, representatives from the National Resources Sector Employment Taskforce including the Hon Gary Gray MP, Minister for Indigenous Affairs Kim Hames and students from the Clontarf Foundation’s Karratha Academy.
These four groups toured the project site, speaking to employees and contractors about construction activities. The students from the Clontarf Foundation, who were onsite to learn about careers in mining, received a special up-close mining experience when Michael Heseltine, Superintendent Civil Works and Mine Services put them in the ‘hot seat’ with a haul truck driver working in the pit.
All the visitors were impressed by the project with the Clontarf students summing up their experience as simply “Awesome!”
