Project Background

Grange, Australia’s leading magnetite producer, is developing the Southdown magnetite project near Albany in Western Australia. This project is targeting to produce 10 million tonnes per annum of high grade magnetite concentrate to be shipped from the Albany Port, for use as iron pellet feedstock. A feasibility study is currently being undertaken with Amec Minproc and GHD and will be concluded at the end of 2010.

In November, 2009 the mine received its Environmental permit. In June, 2010 another major hurdle was overcome when the Commonwealth approved the spoil site to be used for material removed from the Albany harbour as part of the port expansion project.

In August 2010 the last remaining major permit required for the Southdown iron ore project to proceed entered the final stage of the approval process. The remaining permit relates to State approval for the Albany Port Expansion project, which will allow cape size bulk carriers to dock at the port, and off take magnetite concentrate from Grange’s Southdown iron project, 90km from Albany.
