The Marillana Iron Ore Project is to construct and operate a 750 Million tonnes iron ore mine, processing facility and associated infrastructure approximately 100km north-west of Newman.

The Minister for Environment has requested that the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) inquire into and report on the matter of changing the implementation conditions relating to the Marillana Iron Ore Project, in order to extend the ‘Time Limit of Authorisation’ for substantial commencement.
