#AceNewsDesk – New Century Mine confirms zinc spill in Gulf of Carpentaria pipeline

The spill occurred about 30 kilometres from Century Mine along the 304km slurry pipeline used to transport zinc concentrate to a Karumba port.

Head of corporate affairs and social responsibility at New Century Resources, Shane Goodwin said the mine’s systems picked up on the spill at about 8am, Tuesday.

He said the scale of the spill was not yet clear but that it had been contained and there was no danger to the public. 

Efforts were being made to divert wildlife and cattle from the area.

“The clean-up is underway now, we’re confident that we’ve effectively contained the leak

“The slurry is inert and the liquids are inert,” he said.A section of the zinc spillage near the mine.(Supplied: Waanyi elders)none

Local Indigenous elders and rangers were on scene to oversee the clean-up.

“We have rangers and elders onsite to monitor the clean-up and make sure our country and our people are safe,” said chairman of the Waanyi Native Title Aboriginal Corporation, Alec Doomadgee.

Mr Doomadgee said an independent environmental evaluator would be engaged to assess the clean-up. 

“The Waanyi PBC [Prescribed Body Corporation], we’ve always been speaking about rehabilitation and working on healing our country. Mines have an obligation and that rehabilitation contract should be at the forefront of any discussions going forward with New Century,” Mr Doomadgee said.
