A revised scoping study into the Paulsens East iron-ore project, in Western Australia, incorporating the Utah Point, at Port Hedland, as the shipping port, has confirmed the project economics.
The original scoping study completed in late 2019, considered the Onslow marine supply base, at Beadon Creek as the preferred port for export. However, since the original scoping study was completed, Strike Resources undertook a trade-off study looking at the suitability of alternate port locations from which to ship, identifying Utah Point as the most suitable point for exports.
