Loan of $20m to troubled smelter deemed high risk, govt went ahead anyway
🔮 The Liberty Bell Bay manganese smelter, in Tasmania's north, closed in July this year and was subsequently liquidated, resulting in the loss of more than 200 jobs. More than two years earlier, a tropical cyclone damaged South32's GEMCO manganese ore operation in the Northern Territory, hobbling Liberty Bell Bay's access to its main source of ore and sparking a chain of events that would lead to its liquidation. In May 2025, the smelter had entered limited operations due to what its then-owner — UK billionaire Sanjeev Gupta's GFG Alliance — said were ore supply issues, international price volatility and US tariffs. mixed
