Lead miner Rosslyn Hill Mining back in business The conveyor system at Esperance Port, which was at the centre of the 2007 lead contamination scandal involving Magellan Metals. The company, now known as Rosslyn Hill Mining, is about to re-start operations. ROSSLYN Hill Mining will be back in operations and shipping lead carbonate within the next three months after the company received the final tick of approval from the government today. The Canadian company, formerly known as Magellan Metals, has also hired the majority of the staff needed to re-start operations at its Wiluna mine and is on track to be back in production by the end of June, according to a company spokesman. The miner, which was at the centre of the 2007 Esperance lead scandal, has been out of action since a spate of contamination scares forced it to shut down operations in April 2011. An investigation later found the lead was naturally occurring, but the company's monitoring systems were found to be inadequate - failing to report a number of breaches of its operating conditions. Despite that Rosslyn Hill was cleared by the then-Environment Minister Bill Marmion in July last year to restart operations, if it met "rigorous" conditions. The OEPA announced today it had signed off on management and monitoring plans allowing the company to restart operations. It said it would also continue to monitor Rosslyn Hill's operations to ensure it met the conditions applied last year. During the company's hiatus its Canadian-listed parent company, Ivernia, re-named the miner and its mine, Paroo Station. It also signed a management agreement with Enirgi Group that will run the operations.
