The federal government's Northern Australia Infrastructure Fund has reaffirmed its support for a proposed mineral sand mine in the Kimberley despite investigating its relationship with a privately owned Chinese company last year.Kimberley Mineral Sands says it is confident that the project will go ahead
Sheffield executive chair Bruce Griffin said the finance would go a long way to finally getting the project underway. The funding increase comes months after NAIF said it was investigating Sheffield's involvement with Chinese steel producer Yansteel. KMS chief executive Stuart Pether said NAIF's eventual choice to nearly double the original loan commitment was a "great endorsement" of the project.
"These are massive milestones for our business and we're very confident we'll be moving forward — so confident that we've started some of the construction works onsite now."There are still concerns about the company's operations in the Kimberley town of Derby after the mine initially flagged it would aim to run its operations out of the port in 2018.
