Exmouth salt mine canned

Just saw this on the net, saw something awhile ago where it was a rumour but looks like it is definately gone now. Looks like common sense has prevailed for a change!!!

Good Stuff
Good move - I think there are enough Salt mines in WA between Hedland, Dampier, Onslow and Carnarvon (dont think Useless Loop is open anymore). I guess the area of lease is fixed though, and it is a 'renewable' resource to a degree. The intake ponds used to be great fishing before that got canned!

Top news to hear its been officially canned.
Lets hope that any other mob who are thinking of doing the same in future take note of what has happened to this proposal.
