It's interesting that right throughout the recent volatility the coal industry has experienced, GVK has continued to maintain a cool head and been confident in their ability and the demand/supply factors to continue to bring this behemoth project closer to fruition.
Now that Aurizon has reportedly agreed to maintain a 51% stake in the infrastructure it must bode well for the long term for the Galilee.
It is going to be very interesting to see the impact on this industry once September roles around and the nation heads to the polls…….. A change of government to one that is more supportive of Australian business could be just what the doctor ordered.
Enjoy the read….

Great news for Alpha, Emerald and the Galilee Basin. GVK are talking with banks and financial closure in a years time. Coal production likely to start in another 1-2 years after that.
