Iron Ore & Export Corridor

A mine-to-port corridor integrating extraction, crushing and beneficiation, heavy-haul logistics, stockyards and deep-water export infrastructure.

• Mine & resource: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
• Processing: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
• Heavy-haul logistics: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.
• Deep-water export: definition of capacity, interfaces, performance requirements and delivery responsibility.

Engineering is organised around the complete asset and its enabling infrastructure.

• Resource or feedstock definition and product specifications.
• Process route, utilities, infrastructure, logistics and technology selection.
• Safety, environmental performance, reliability, maintainability and operating readiness.
• Integrated schedules, cost definition, risk control and technical assurance.

Commercial development connects the asset configuration with customers, partners and finance.

• Market structure, customer segments, product mix and route-to-market.
• Revenue drivers, operating-cost structure, capital phasing and key sensitivities.
• Offtake, feedstock, logistics, technology and delivery counterparties.
• Financing architecture aligned with project maturity and risk allocation.

The 30 Mtpa planning basis aligns resource definition, metallurgical testwork, mine and processing design, heavy-haul logistics and port capacity. The programme also advances approvals, Indigenous engagement, commercial strategy, financing and offtake.

• Host-country alignment and project-company structure.
• Approvals, contracts, partnerships and financing workstreams.
• Engineering definition, procurement strategy and execution planning.
• Commissioning, workforce, systems and operational-readiness planning.
