SnapshotCentral Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) is an advanced, long-life iron ore mining, beneficiation and infrastructure development opportunity.

The proposed beneficiation plant is designed to produce a high quality, low impurity iron concentrate that will serve as a clean, superior blending product for steel mill customers, either as sinter feed or direct reduction grade pellet feed.

During February 2025, was delivered a scoping study which investigated the feasibility, scope, equipment requirements and probable cost of a 130km slurry transport solution from the CEIP mine to the Cape Hardy Industrial Port Precinct. The study was commissioned by the Iron Road as a slurry logistics option was expected to be more efficient and reduce previously estimated capital and / or operating costs versus heavy haulage rail or private road haulage alternatives.

Revised “pit-to-port” CEIP CAPEX and OPEX estimates and updated project economics (NPV and IRR metrics) are targeted for completion in 2025.
