Another minerals export battle ensues at Port Lincoln in South Australia.

Lincoln Minerals announced its plans to utilize the Port Lincoln wharf to export iron ore products for two years once funds and approvals are set in place.

An SA Government decision was released a year ago that allowed Centrex Metals to export its iron ore products from Port Lincoln. The move was met with angry criticisms from the seafood industry and in the community.

Port Lincoln's council did not oppose the latest export project, however, Mayor Peter Davis said there is a flaw in the plan.

“If its approved what it will do is compound Centrex's loading issues because effectively there will be more ships trying to get alongside,” he argued.

“Port Lincoln is not appropriate – apart from the fact that its a beautiful city, it is not a deep sea port.”

Meanwhile, Lincoln Minerals managing director John Parker has assured that the company's operations would be the same with what was already approved by the SA Government for Centrex.

“Provided we can demonstrate what we're going to do is not going to inconvenience or harm the seafood industry, its not going to inconvenience the locals, then I honestly believe the option should be there for us,” he said.

Lincoln Minerals Limited is well known for its iron ore, nickel-cobalt, uranium lead-zinc-copper and gold projects in Indonesia and in South Australia.
