Supporting the establishment of the Australia-East Asia iron ore green corridor

Initial clients Mineral Resources and Pilbara Minerals commit to Lumsden Point, a key port expansion project enabling diverse trade and renewable growth.

Following rigorous testing over recent months, the new facilities have already been put to use with the first shipment of product last week.

Additional bulk shipments of non-magnetic (zircon), magnetic (ilmenite) concentrate and paramagnetic (leucoxene) products are scheduled over the coming weeks.

By reducing the need for long-haul freight between Perth and the Pilbara, the centre reduces carbon emissions and offers faster access to critical spare parts.

Rio Tinto’s Amrun project in Queensland, Australia, has shipped out its first consignment of bauxite, six weeks ahead of schedule.

Rio Tinto is to develop its most technologically advanced mine following the full approval of a US$2.6B (A$3.5B) investment in the Koodaideri iron ore mine.
