This record of improvement was perhaps most notable at our oldest mine – Tallering Peak where mining was finally completed in the June 2014 after more than 10 years of continuous operation.

Summary:

Tallering Peak Iron Ore Mine, situated approximately 63 kilometres north of Mullewa. More specifically, the proposed clearing area includes a rocky, upperslope part of the Tallering Ridge, a Banded Ironstone Formation (BIF) some 8 kilometres long, striking north-east to south-west, and elevated some 150 metres above the natural surrounding ground surface level.

The Tallering Ridge is the largest and southernmost of three distinct BIF ridges that occur within the Tallering Peak mining leases. It consists of two prominent peaks, Tallering Peak and Tallering Hill. The apex of Tallering Hill has been removed by mining operations, whilst Tallering Peak is located north-east of current mining operations, further along the ridge. The Tallering Ridge is currently being mined and consists of the T2, T3, T4, T6A and T6B pits to date.

BIF's are characterised by unique geology, soils and relative isolation. As a consequence, BIF's provide unique habitat for flora and fauna species. The biodiversity value of BIF's relates to the endemic plant species, rare and restricted plant species and distinct communities that exist in these unique landscapes.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Now in its second full year, the Tallering Peak hematite operation includes the Tallering Peak hematite mine, crushing and screening plant, the rail loading facility at Mullewa and the ore storage and loading facilities at the Port of Geraldton.

Tallering Peak had a very strong physical and financial performance in the first half of the financial year as the mine completed the first stage of multiple small open pits.

The large cut backs involved the removal of very large quantities of waste rock.


Crushing and Grinding


Processing


Summary:

Ore is mined, crushed and screened on site, transported by sealed road 65 kilometres to Mullewa, where it is loaded onto rail wagons and railed approximately 110 kilometres to the Geraldton Port.
