Rio Tinto Iron Ore and Australia chief executive Sam Walsh said the extension plays an important role in sustaining the Pilbara operation’s annual capacity rate, which complements major expansion programmes in the region.
“With a high iron and low phosphorus content, Marandoo’s Marra Mamba ore assists in maintaining the Pilbara Blend grade requirements and maximising the value of our integrated Pilbara operations,” Walsh said.
