Formed on 6 October, YIPA Inc’s aims are to:
- Promote community, indigenous and environmental achievement balanced with sustainable economic development in the region.
- Promote the interests of prospective and current iron miners located in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia.
- Promote the development of infrastructure.
- Promote the exploration and mining of iron.
Incoming YIPA Inc Chairman Gregory Bromley said that the co-operative development of rail and other infrastructure could turn the central Yilgarn into Australia’s next big iron ore powerhouse. This would have a significant economic benefit to the Yigarn-Goldfieds-Esperence area.
Bromley praised the inaugural members for their foresight and said the State Government is supportive of the formation of YIPA and keen to assist.
YIPA’s inaugural members include:
- Cashmere Iron
- Cliffs Natural Resources Pty Ltd
- Fairstar Resources Limited
- Golden West Resources
- Hawthorn Resources Limited
- Legacy Iron Ore Ltd
- Macarthur Minerals
- Mindax Ltd
- Mineral Resources Ltd / Polaris Metals
