The proposal is for the remaining life of the mine (50+ years), located west of Jimblebar Creek on Mining Lease 266SA. It entails increasing the iron ore production rate at the mine from 8 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to approximately 12Mtpa, and the mining of the currently undeveloped deposits on either side of the existing operation, including both in-situ hard rock and detrital ores. Approximately 600 million tonnes of Marra Mamba iron ore have been identified within the mining envelope.... Read more...Last updated: December 5, 2005

The proposal is to construct and operate a Direct Reduction/Hot Briquetted Iron plant near Cape Lambert in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The proposed plant will utilise conventional and commercially proven ore concentration, pelletising and gas-based shaft furnace direct reduction technologies to convert Pilbara iron ore (fines and lump) into HBI. The production capacity of the plant is expected to be 3.6 million tonnes per year (Mtpa) of HBI. The project may be developed in stages... Read more...Last updated: September 5, 1995
The proposal is to build and operate a Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant of nominal capacity of 2 Mtpa, approximately 7.5 km south-west of Port Hedland. The plant will produce a nominal 2 Mtpa of iron briquettes, which can be used as a feedstock for electric arc furnaces in the steel making process. Read more...Last updated: October 25, 1993
The proposal is to export 1.5 million tonnes of iron ore per annum through the port of Esperance. The ore would be mined by Portman mining at Koolyanobbing and transported by Westrail via the rail link through Kambalda, Norseman and Salmon Gums to the port of Esperance for loading onto ships. The Portman Mining Koolyanobbing iron ore mining venture was separately referred to the Environmental Protection Authority previously. It was determined that it would be subject to Works Approval and... Read more...
