PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mining giant BHP Billiton has completed the second stage of its Groote Eylandt expansion project, coinciding with the firm celebrating 50 years of mining from the manganese operation, in the Northern Territory.

The $279-million second stage expansion of the Gemco project was expected to increase its beneficiated product capacity from 4.2-million tonnes a year to 4.8-million tonnes a year through the introduction of a dense media circuit bypass facility.
