The Western Hub includes the Eliwana mine.

The Flying Fish and Eliwana deposits effectively represent a single deposit with ore mined from both these directed to the same OPF (Dry Processing).

Deposit Type

  • Bedded Iron (BID)
  • Detrital Iron (DID)


Summary:

The Eliwana deposit occurs on the southern limb of the Jeerinah anticline in the western Hamersley Province. The deposit covers a narrow zone that follows the outcrop of mineralised Brockman and Marra Mamba Iron Formations, with Tertiary sediments in the valleys separating these formations. Iron mineralisation predominantly occurs as bedded iron deposits (BID) with some detrital iron deposits (DID). The mineralisation, which occurs at surface and extends to depths of 350m below surface, is variably distributed across an area of approximately 40km along strike and 3.5km across strike. Mineralisation within the Flying Fish deposit is a hosted Detrital Iron Deposit (DID) and Bedded Iron Deposit (BID). Outcropping geology in the project is Marra Mamba Hills. Bedded mineralisation is found within the Mount Newman and MacLeod units of the Marra Mamba Iron Formation. At Eliwana mineralisation is distributed variably within an area of approximately 40km in an east west direction and 3.5km in a north south direction. Mineralisation occurs at surface and extends to depths of up to 350 metres below the ground surface. The reported tonnes and grade in the Mineral Resource occur at depths of up to 350 metres. At Flying Fish mineralisation is predominantly bedded iron deposits (BID) with some detrital iron deposits (DID). Channel iron deposits (CID) occur in the area but are not considered economic. Mineralisation is hosted by the Mount Newman and MacLeod Members of the Marra Mamba Iron ........


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

It is assumed that mining will be carried out with medium to large scale mining equipment, bench heights may vary depending on mining studies. These methods will be similar to analogous Fortescue deposits where conventional: truck & shovel/excavator; drill & blast and; grade control methods are used. The impact of dilution will be assessed as part of the mining studies.
