Mt Alexander Iron Ore Project
Our Mission
The Mt Alexander Iron Ore Project is dedicated to transforming the mining industry through sustainable, zero-emission iron ore production. By integrating cutting-edge technology and renewable energy, we minimize environmental impact while producing premium-grade iron ore concentrate. Our mission is to drive decarbonization in the steel industry, setting new benchmarks for responsible and innovative mining practices.
The Mount Alexander Iron Ore Project is located in Western Australia, approximately 1,000km north of Perth, 260km south-southwest of Karratha, and 120km southeast of Onslow. The North West Coastal Highway is a sealed all-weather road that links Perth and Karratha.
Future Facing Iron Ore Project
Welcome to the Mt Alexander Iron Ore Project, acquired in 2019 by Mt Alexander Iron Ore Pty Ltd. With rising global demand for premium-grade iron ore, our project is poised to deliver high-quality magnetite concentrates, renowned for their high iron content and low impurities. These superior products command a premium price and play a crucial role in supporting the global steel industry’s efforts to decarbonize. Strategically located near the port of Onslow on Australia’s North West coast, the Project benefits from proximity to major Asian markets, ensuring efficient export capabilities. With a planned production capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum, it will stand among the world’s largest premium-grade magnetite iron ore operations, delivering exceptional quality (>68% Fe, <4.5% SiO2) to meet global demand.
Our Focus
Premium-Grade Concentrate
Our project focuses on producing premium-grade iron ore concentrate to meet the needs of the steel industry, prioritizing sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Renewable Energy
Powered by Australia's renewable energy sources, ensuring that our operations are sustainable and aligned with zero-emission goals.
Sustainable Mining
Harnessing sustainable water sources from a state-of-the-art desalination plant, providing a reliable water resource for processing and dust suppression, thus preserving local freshwater ecosystems.
Australian Ownership
100% privately Australian-owned, reflecting our commitment to local ownership and responsible mining practices.
Project Development
Mineral Resource:
Partial drilling program from 5 Diamond Drill (DD) holes and 34 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes totaling 8,231m returned a JORC inferred resource estimate of 565.7 million tonnes of high-grade magnetite ores.
Further exploration target of 2.2 billion tonnes at 24-32%Fe identified.
Head Grade: Fe 30.0% , SiO2 48.0%, Al2O3 2.2%, P 0.1% , S 0.46%
Proterozoic-aged Banded Iron Formation (BIF) with coarse-grained magnetite, requiring a 40-micron grind size.
Metallurgical tests confirm high-grade concentrate (68.9% Fe) with low impurities and no asbestos.
Great potential to expand the resource within the project’s 220 km2 area.
