I noted the references to rail on the attached map.
It's not a terribly accurate map, would the siding being pointed to be Boco?
Venture Minerals mine set to proceed, with 80-100 jobsLooks like it.

Would this development require a new siding or a spur to the processing facility?If there is rail investment, it will be very minimal. The project's total resource is only 1.8-million tonnes of ore, with Singapore's Prosperity Steel having purchased 100% of production for the next two years. A12km haul road will be used to move the product to the railhead. This mine will have an operational life of just a few years.

Boco was a few hundred metres west of the highway. I visited it around 1997. It was still an active passing loop with a siding for the former cement deliveries. However I thought I read a few years back the siding was and loop were closed to traffic.
1.8mtpa for that line is alot. Even in its hey day that's about 2.5 years of haulage. Other passing loops may need to be installed or reactivated.Would this development require a new siding or a spur to the processing facility?If there is rail investment, it will be very minimal.
