1.2. Project Location
The Mount Morgan Mine is located near the town/location of Mount Morgan 38 kilometres south west
of Rockhampton in Central Queensland. A site locality map is provided in Figure 1. The Mount Morgan
Mine is largely bound to the east by the Dee River and bound to the north and west by undulating hills.
Mount Morgan was founded as a gold mining town in 1882, with the Mount Morgan Mine located directly
adjacent to the west. In addition to mining resources, the predominant land uses in the surrounding
region is cattle grazing within native vegetation, with some areas of forestry and irrigated cropping.
This region experiences a sub-tropical climate, with distinctive wet and dry seasons, with approximately
70 percent of rain fall during the wet season (between November and April). The Mount Morgan Mine
is located alongside the Dee River, forming part of the Dee River Catchment. The catchment forms part
of the larger Fitzroy River system within the Fitzroy River basin. The Dee River generally flows south to
west into the Don River and Dawson River before reaching the Fitzroy River where it enters the ocean
at Port Alma, downstream of Rockhampton.
