Iron-ore major Fortescue Metals on Friday said it was on track for first ore on train at its Eliwana mine, in the Pilbara, in December this year, as the company firmed up its reserve and mineral resource estimates.
“We are pleased to report over 2.2-billion tonnes of hematite ore reserves and 5.8-billion tonnes of mineral resource at our operating properties, supporting the sustainability of our core iron-ore assets across our Solomon and Chichester Hubs, as well as our developing Western Hub,” said CEO Elizabeth Gaines.
