Metro Mining Ltd (ASX:MMI) was recognised in August 2018 as Australia's leading emerging mining company at the globally renown Diggers & Dealers resources conference in Kalgoorlie.
This was due to the successful development of its flagship 100% owned Bauxite Hills Mine in north Queensland.
After completing a bankable feasibility study (BFS) supporting a multi-billion dollar operation, mining commenced in April 2018.
As of early September 2018, all 2018 production from the Bauxite Hills Mine has been sold.
Most recently, Metro signed a new binding contract with China's state-owned State Power Investment Corporation Aluminium and Electric Power Investment Co. Ltd (SPIC).
