Mine Life2057
No mine operations data has been publicly available since Gindalbie Metals Limited (‘GBG’) was removed from the Official List of ASX Limited on 24 July 2019, in accordance with Listing Rule 17.11, following implementation of the scheme of arrangement between GBG and its shareholders in connection with the acquisition of all the issued capital in GBG by Angang Group Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited.

Karara Mining has proposed to expand its namesake iron ore project in Western Australia with a mine-life extension to 2050 and a production rate of 37 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).

Deposit Type

  • Banded iron formation


Summary:

Mt Karara magnetite mineralisation is confined to a magnetite banded iron formation (BIF) lithological unit that occurs within a tightly folded and structurally disrupted northeast trending syncline. The Mt Karara syncline is characterised by a thick western limb dipping steeply to the east and a thinner and more structurally complex eastern limb that dips less steeply to the west, and it is the thick western limb that hosts most of the interpreted mineralisation. Where drilling has penetrated the base of the BIF, the syncline structure is interpreted to plunge steeply to the north. The drilling coverage has allowed the Mt Karara deposit to be modelled to a strike length of approximately 3km and the main mineralised zone has a width of approximately 500m. The BIF has been interpreted to extend vertically to depths of >700m below the surface.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Magnetite ore is mined from a large scale (12 m bench height) open pit mine in a traditional load and haul mining operation using conventional face shovels, large capacity (230 tonne) off-road haul trucks, a fleet of large diameter blast-hole drill rigs and a range of ancillary mobile mining equipment.

The project comprises a large, complex and fully integrated mining, processing and transport logistics operation designed to produce 8 Mtpa.
