One year ago today, PRL Group acquired the Ardmore phosphate mine in North West Queensland. It has been a big twelve months.
We moved quickly. The mine was remobilised, processing restarted and the logistics chain to port re-established. Our first shipment occurred just 72 days after acquisition and was the largest in PRL Group’s history. The two shipments that followed each broke that record in turn.
We have completed planned investments in mobile plant and fixed infrastructure across mining and processing, established dry storage in multiple locations, built a core workforce and upgraded the mine camp in the township of Dajarra.
In July, we completed the transition of Ardmore to a bulk logistics model through the Port of Townsville, replacing the container-based model used since acquisition. Product now moves in bulk rather than containers, creating a more efficient logistics chain designed to reduce transport costs and support increased product movements from Ardmore.
Our thanks go to the Ardmore team and the Dajarra community, who have backed this from day one.
Together, we have laid strong foundations for the future, and PRL Group looks forward to building on that progress in the year ahead.
