Imerys

Yeah.

Um, with lots of separate companies that eventually then came together and became Eng- English China Clay, and then later was taken over by Imerys.

But it did mean that the parts of the lands, which now I think probably would not be dissimilar to say Bodmin Moor, lots of moorlands was just well, dug up basically.

And so then everything that came out of the ground needed somewhere to go.

In 1961, Western Mining Corporation took a 50% interest and they started doing it as open cut mining and they eventually took full ownership in Australia.

Then Rio Tinto bought the mine in 2001 and then sold it to Imerys in 2011, which is a French industrial minerals company.

And then the mob still operates it.

It's, strangely enough, the Shire and Towns sources describe it as Western Australia's first talc mine, and it's the oldest and most productive talc mine in the Southern Hemisphere, and it's among the world's largest.
