Summary:
The Koodaideri deposit is located within the Hamersley Basin of Western Australia, the host to some of the most significant iron ore deposits in the world. Mineralisation at the Koodaideri deposit occurs as hematite-goethite within the Brockman Iron Formation and overlying detrital ores.
Summary:
Conventional mining methods (truck and shovel) similar to other Rio Tinto Iron Ore mines were selected, and the mine has been designed to utilise in-pit crushing and conveying to transport ore to a central processing facility.
Flow Sheet:
Summary:
The Koodaideri Iron Ore Mine will produce 43 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of Saleable Ore Product (SOP) as lump and fines from coarse ore feed.
In order to process coarse ore feed into saleable ore product, the Koodaideri processing plant will include facilities for crushing, screening, stockpiling and loading onto rail transport.
Mobile crushing and screening units will be required to support mine earthworks. When constructed,the Koodaideri processing plant willoperate 24 hours perday, 7 days per week.
Run of Mine (ROM) ore will be delivered by haul truck to a primary gyratory crusher located to the north west of the K58W pit. The high-grade (HG) primary crushed ore will be processed through a dry crushing and screening plant to produce HG lump and HG fines product.
Seven double-deck banana screens will provide the required production throughput and achieve the required product specifications, which will divide the ore into three strea ........
