Rex Minerals is an Australian mining company dedicated to the development of its flagship A$1.0B Copper-Gold Hillside Project located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The project will be a significant contributor to the South Australian economy and will provide employment opportunities for locals and for those looking to move to the area.
Hillside is in a fantastic location 150km from Adelaide and is one of the largest undeveloped copper / gold projects in Australia. Stage 1 of the project is fully approved, and early-stage site access work has commenced. Further site work and awarding of contracts and building the team to execute the project is currently taking place. The project will be an open pit mining operation with an option to go underground in the decades ahead and will be operated under a contract mining model with oversight from an experienced owners’ team.
The scene is therefore set and Hillside will be one of the next greenfield mining projects in Australia to get off the ground.
