The managing director of Rex Minerals, which is striving to develop the $850 million Hillside copper project, says he’s expecting to have a string of important milestones to announce over the next six to eight weeks including a fixed price for the overall construction cost from Korean conglomerate Hyundai.

Mark Parry, the managing director of Rex said on Monday a series of concrete announcements were on schedule to be made over the next two months which would bring more certainty to the project on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula.
