Lamb Creek Iron Ore Project

Project
Proposal description: 

The proposal is an open pit iron ore mine located approximately 130 km northwest of Newman, in the East Pilbara. The mine will produce up to 10 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of crushed and screened iron ore over a period of three to five years.

The proposal includes construction of a multi-stage crushing and screening process plant and associated mine infrastructure including offices, water pipelines, storage and equipment areas, power generation and accommodation village.

Iron ore product will be transported (16 km) via road trains on a private haul road, then on the Great Northern Highway for 320 km to ship load-out facilities at the Utah Point berth in Port Headland.

The proposal is located within an 860.9 ha Development Envelope and will require the clearing of up to 638.4 ha of native vegetation.
