Grow and expand to include transhipping, port operations, critical infrastructure, domestic LNG, large scale haulage
Iron Ore
Transition from a low-volume producer to a high-volume, long-life producer
Lithium Grow our production of spodumene concentrate, which will be integral in the production of lithium hydroxide and battery grade lithium products
Energy
Transition from a diesel reliant energy consumer and price taker to a self-sufficient, lowcost energy consumer and a supplier of energy products and services
Emerging
Build capability in innovative mining services and infrastructure. Operate a diverse portfolio of critical and in-demand commodity assets, and grow our client base, to drive the expansion of our mining services business
==> picture [108 x 21] intentionally omitted <==

IRON ORE STRATEGY
Transition from small high-cost miner with expensive supply chains to:
-
High-volume, low-cost miner
-
Low-cost mine to port transport solutions
-
Low-cost port facilities
- Next 2 5 years
-
Develop three mining hubs:
-
Ashburton – 30Mtpa, 2 year development
-
South West Creek – 30Mtpa, 2 years approvals plus 3 year development
-
Yilgarn – transitioning from hematite to magnetite
-
Develop projects with high returns
-
Increase the scale, quality and life of the business

Wodgina spodumene concentrate
-
Bring back to full production in line with market demand – 750ktpa
-
JV partner will convert all product to lithium hydroxide
- MRL share – 42ktpa hydroxide
-
Kemerton Hydroxide Plant
-
50ktpa capacity – MRL share 20ktpa
-
Commission plant through CY22
