Processing Loading & Hauling Crushing & Conveying Drilling & Blasting
The introduction of the Newman Hub will mean that the company's Mt Whaleback operation will be equipped to mine, crush and screen ore onsite, rather than at Port Hedland prior to shipping.
BHP’s iron ore president, Ian Ashby, said: "The commissioning of the Newman Mining Hub marks the beginning of an exciting time for our business, with one of our largest expansion projects nearing completion. The further integration of our mine, rail and port facilities will ensure greater efficiency in production across our WA iron ore business. We are also pleased that the community of Port Hedland will benefit through reduced dust emissions as we move some of our key production processes inland to the Hub.”
