Mineralogy's mining projects are not in production or generating income. Mineralogy signed a deal with the Chinese infrastructure company CITIC Pacific to develop a small portion of a large iron ore deposit in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The agreement involves the development of two magnetite mines and construction of port infrastructure at Cape Preston. According to Palmer the company owns more than 1,000 km² of land in the region.〔 Mineralogy was paid $415 million USD for the rights to mine the ore. According to Palmer the reserves contain 160 billion tonnes of iron ore. The company owns thermal coal deposits situated in the Galilee Basin. Estimates of the size of the deposits reach 100 billion tonnes of coal. Mineralogy has tried several times to raise capital to develop mines by floating a subsidiary company called Resourcehouse on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.〔 Another subsidiary called Chinampa Exploration owns offshore exploration licences in the Gulf of Papua that covers more than 43,000 km². In a declaration to the Electoral Commission of Queensland it was revealed that Mineralogy donated $66,000 to the Liberal National Party of Queensland in 2011. In 2010, a similar disclosure revealed the company had donated $700,000 to the Liberal/National coalition. The company has recorded a loss in the three financial years from 2008 to 2011 and as a result paid no taxes during that period.〔 ==See also== *Mining in Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mineralogy (mining company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
