smacka64 I ‘ve done mistake: it was Legend and not Xtrata, which was considering to build a slurry pipeline to transport products. Sorry
However, the Mt Isa – Townsville transport infrastructure will be improved (from pg.14) http://www.minerals.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/33845/MCA_2020_Vision_Qld_report_FINAL.pdf
Here is the link to Legend http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2009_Feb_10/ai_n31317398/ ‘Previously Legend was conducting a study with GHD to investigate the option of using a slurry pipeline to transport beneficiated product to the Port of Karumba. This option has now been abandoned due to high cost and port logistics. The transport option now considered feasible is via rail from Mt. Isa to the Port of Townsville’.
