An update from Conquest Mining, Mt Carlton Project.  Andrew Yeatman, Community Relations Manager for Conquest Mining came to the Burdekin on the 4th August to update the community about the progress at the mine. They are up to engineering of the site and access roads stage with the tendering process to commence in the next few weeks. The news was very positively received by about 70 interested individuals and business persons. There are a lot of opportunities for the Burdekin. Andrew commented that our Real Estate is very cheap and rentals are more than affordable for an area where a mine is about to commence operations. He said that usually prices start to climb when the mention of mining is heard. With the amount of properties that we currently have listed I would think that there are some excellent opportunites for investment in our region. He also commented on our lifestyle and said once word got our about our fishing and other recreational facilities we would be a hot spot.
