Australian iron ore miner Atlas Iron has announced that it has resumed iron ore mining at its Mount Webber mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Processing is planned to recommence mid-July.
Mount Webber, which is targeting a production rate of six million mt per year, is expected to make a meaningful contribution to the company’s targeted year-end production rate of 14-15 million mt per year.
Atlas managing director David Flanagan said that the company was delighted that mining operations were now back up and running at all three of its Pilbara iron ore mines, with a dramatically improved cost base to underpin strong cash flow generation and a more sustainable business.
