Fortescue Metals Group has given the go-ahead to develop a new mine and rail project in the Pilbara. Eliwana, which will replace their depleting Firetail mine, is expected to operate at 30 million tonnes p/a with a capacity of up to 50mt p/a over a mine life of at least 24 years.

This project will utilise the latest technology, autonomous trucks, and design efficiency whilst redeploying existing assets.

Highlights

• 143 kilometres of rail

• New 30mtpa dry ore processing facility and infrastructure

• Life of mine strip ratio of 1.1
