Crushing and Grinding


Processing


Summary:

WAIO’s Pilbara reserve base is relatively concentrated, allowing development to be planned around integrated mining hubs joined to the mines and satellite orebodies by conveyors or spur lines. This approach enables the value of installed infrastructure to be maximised by using the same processing plant and rail infrastructure for a number of orebodies.

At each mining hub – Newman, Yandi, Mining Area C and Jimblebar – ore from mines is crushed, beneficiated (where necessary) and blended to create high-grade hematite lump and fines products. Iron ore products are then transported along the Port Hedland Newman Rail Line to the Finucane Island and Nelson Point port facilities at Port Hedland.

Ore processing plant, primary crusher and overland conveyor (nominal capacity 60 Mtpa).
