About The Central Pilbara Project

MinRes' Central Pilbara iron ore operation produces approximately 10 million tonnes of direct shipping ore annually, delivered to Port Hedland across two active mine sites — Iron Valley (200km from Newman) and Lamb Creek (150km from Newman). Ore from both sites is blended at port to meet customer grade specifications.

With two pits running simultaneously, mine engineering sits at the heart of production performance.
