Our Vision
The Next Big Australian Iron Ore Development
Set out here is our planned configuration for rapidly moving into production. It requires minimal further analysis and summarises our vision and our blue print for construction of a rapid start-up project.

Shipping of Concentrates to Market
Concentrates will be shipped in chartered, geared bulk carriers

Port loading and transfer
Shuttle barges/vessels (financed off balance sheet) will take concentrate from existing harbours to suitable anchorages for transshipment to either geared bulk carriers (ships with cranes for self-loading from barges) or un- geared bulkers. The concentrate will be transferred from the barges to the ship by either the ship’s cranes or floating pontoon cranes.

Concentrate delivery Rail to Port
Unit trains (third party owned and operated) will bring concentrate from Olary to the harbour on the Australian Rail Track Company (ARTC) railroad and the unloaded concentrate will be transferred to shuttle barges/vessels at the harbour.

Concentrate delivery Mine to Rail
Concentrate will be hauled from the mine process plant to the Railroad at Olary by road trains

Concentrate Process Plant at Mine
The process plant (financed as much as possible with export credits) will consist of Loesche Vertical Roller Mills for dry grinding in a single step from 100mm to liberation size. To make the magnetite concentrate we have a choice between dry magnetic separation and wet magnetic separation followed by hydro separation.


Mining Operations
Mining will be via conventional drill, blast, excavators and trucks utilising leased equipment
