Nhulunbuy and Weipa – key parts of Australia's economic future
Both operated by the world's fourth largest mining company Rio Tinto Alcan, Nhulunbuy (Gove) & Weipa together account for 17% of global production of bauxite – the ore that is used in the production of aluminium. With known reserves forecast to last another 60 years, these two towns will continue to be significant contributors to global economic development for decades to come.
