Pluton Resources Ltd (Pluton) proposes to construct, operate and maintain iron ore mining operations on Irvine Island, in the Kimberley Iron-ore Hub, north Western Australia. Pluton has identified two main areas of high iron ore prospectivity, both located on the eastern side of Irvine Island:
- Isthmus region: a narrow neck of land which is the northern-most of the two areas.
- Hardstaff Peninsula: which is the southern-most of the two areas.
The Proposal involves the mining and shipping of iron ore through the development of two mine pits, one on the Hardstaff Peninsula and the other on the Isthmus Region dry ore processing and materials offloading facility (MOF) and transhipment facilities, waste rock disposal areas, a borefield and a range of other ancillary support infrastructure.
Note: This proposal reflects the mining program proposed by Pluton Resources Ltd. Phase 1 of the exploration program is available here
Phase 2 is available here
