Gold Valley iron ore exporting from Bunbury port in first ever South West shipping expansion

Gold Valley iron ore, a Perth-based company, have expanded their reach to Southern WA exporting from the Bunbury port for the first time.

The decision to start exporting from Bunbury followed the company also beginning shipments from Esperance earlier this year.

Gold Valley chair Yuzheng Xie said expanding shipments to the regions would be beneficial for the company.

“We were confident working with Southern Ports to export the product for the long term, knowing it would be beneficial for Gold Valley and the port,” he said.

“This iron concentrate supplements our iron ore that we export through the Port of Esperance to our global steel manufacturer with Gold Valley currently supplying over seven countries.”

In two shipments in as many months, Gold Valley exported 93,000 tonnes of iron concentrate from Bunbury to China.

The first shipment from Bunbury departed on March 9 after seven days of loading the concentrate onto Bao Yue Ling. The second shipment followed in April.

Southern Ports chief executive officer Keith Wilks said he was pleased to have Gold Valley export from Bunbury port as well as Esperance.

“We’re always actively seeking new and expanded trade opportunities with current and potential customers to help diversify our services and stimulate trade,” Mr Wilks said.

“It’s fantastic to see that our partnership with Gold Valley has led to new opportunities to export through another one of our ports.

“We believe that strong regional ports contribute to strong regions, and this is the perfect example of this vision in action.”
