en.Wedoany.com Reported - Metro Mining recently updated the resource estimate for its Bauxite Hills mine in Far North Queensland, Australia. Data shows that the mine's dry bauxite reserves currently stand at 107.4 million tonnes.

Compared to the data as of December 31, 2024, this update shows a reduction of 7 million tonnes in dry bauxite reserves. The company stated that the decline in reserves is entirely attributable to depletion due to mining activities.

Additionally, the wet bauxite reserves at Bauxite Hills also decreased by 8.1 million tonnes, bringing the total reserves down to 69.6 million tonnes. This reduction is similarly due to mining depletion.

During the resource estimate update process, no new mineral resources were added, and there was no additional conversion from the indicated category to the measured category. Mineral resources were also not converted to ore reserves.

According to Mining.com.au, Metro resumed operations at the Bauxite Hills mine on the Cape York Peninsula in mid-March this year, after Tropical Cyclone Narelle had limited impact on the area.

Metro Mining is a company focused on bauxite mining. Its wholly-owned Bauxite Hills mine is located north of Weipa, near the coast of the Skardon River in Far North Queensland. This resource estimate update reflects the current reserve status of the mine.
