The receivers for failed Tasmanian forestry company Gunns Limited, KordaMentha, have called for expressions of interests in the company's assets, which include 96,850 hectares of hardwood and softwood plantations, the Longreach site for the planned pulp mill, and the design work anc government permits for the project.

The mill attracted fierce opposition from environmentalists and its permit is still likely to be subject to a court challenge by the Tasmanian Conservation Trust.
