The Gudai-Darri Iron Ore Mine and processing facility is located on AML70/00252 (ML252SA section 002) held by Mount Bruce Mining Pty Ltd and the Special Rail Licence (AL70/00007) held by Hamersley Iron Pty Limited (a subsidiary of Rio Tinto). Minor facilities will also be located on L47/00701 held by Mount Bruce Mining Pty Ltd.
Gudai-Darri mineralisation is haematite/goethite hosted within the banded iron formations of the Brockman Formation. Detrital deposits are also present at this site.The Project area lies within the Hamersley Range which is principally comprised of rocks of the Brockman Iron Formation. Further north is the broad expanse of the Fortescue Valley, which was formed by the preferential erosion of the Wittenoom Formation and includes deep layers of Cainozoic sediments.The Gudai-Darri (formerly Koodaideri) mine area contains martite-geothite mineralisation predominantly within the Dales Gorge Member of the Brockman Iron Formation, with lesser mineralisation in the Joffre Member. A variable thickness hydrated capping overlies the deposits, which is permeated with numerous cavities. The orebody is underlain by the Mount McRae Shale and Mount Sylvia Formations.
