Liquidators have been appointed to Hellyer Metals, the company that until recently operated the Hellyer mine and tailings reprocessing facility in Tasmania’s west.
According to documents filed with the corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), creditors on Thursday appointed Liam Bailey of Sydney-based insolvency practitioners O’Brien Palmer to wind up the company.
The Hellyer mine, which employs roughly 80 people at full capacity, has been fighting to survive since November when the state government issued a cease work notice over unpaid royalties.
