Situated approximately 115 kilometres north of Newman, commissioned and managed the Roy Hill is a world-class, low phosphorus iron ore deposit. installation of three diesel-powered containerised gensets from MTU for The operation consists of a conventional open pit mine and wet the diesel power station, as part of processing plant. There is a single rail line for heavy haul cartage Alinta Energy’s power supply to the and a purpose built two-berth iron ore port facility at Port Hedland Roy Hill Iron Ore mine that is capable of stockpiling, screening and exporting mined product. OPERATIONAL DATE August 2015 Roy Hill enlisted the services of Alinta on the two-phase construction project to provide a 121 km 220 kV transmission line and substation with 6 MW diesel back-up power. Alinta partnered with Penske Australia customer UGL Engineering, under a turnkey design and construction contract. CONFIGURATION As part of the project with UGL, Penske Australia has installed and commissioned three state-of-the-art containerised gensets from MTU to deliver critical power solutions for the mine infrastructure. The generators are configured to run in various operational modes including blackstart operation, island operation and grid parallel mode. FEATURES The DP 2870 D5C diesel gensets feature the 20V 4000 G63 engine and deliver 2.5 MW prime power at 50 degrees ambient, critical for the harsh heat and aridity of the Pilbara.

    NYIYAPARLI CLAIM DESCRIPTION Dr Bill Day Tom Price September 3, 2003 1. Introduction The Nyiyaparli claim (WAG6280/98; WC99/004) covers an area of about 40,250 square kilometres in the East Pilbara. A large area taking in a number of stations, reserves and land tenures are within the claim area: - Kumarina - Pt. Bulloo Downs - Weelarrana - Sylvania - Ethel Creek - Walagunya (ALT, held by Jigalong) - Roy Hill - Marillana - Balfour Downs - Mt. Divide - Pt. Wandanya - Robertson Range Most of these leases are held privately. The exceptions are: - Marillana, Sylvania and Ethel Creek, held by BHP; - Walagunya, held by the ALT, sub-leased to Jigalong Community; - Robertson Range, held by Jigalong Community; - Mt. Divide, held by the Irrangadji Group Association. Most of the Jigalong reserve lands (including Jigalong and Camp 61) are within the claim area, and subject to further discussions between the Nyiyaparli group and the Jigalong Council about future management in light of the State Government’s Aboriginal reserve transfer program. The Nyiyaparli claim area also includes non-exclusive tenures within the town of Newman, and three substantial parcels of UCL in the west, central and southeast parts of the area. The Nyiyaparli claim is represented by the PNTS, as are the neighbouring Palyku, Martu Idja Banyjima, and IBN claims. The Martu claim (WAG6110/98; WC96/078), represented by the Ngaanyatjarra Council NTRB, adjoins much of the eastern boundary of the Nyiyaparli claim area. The Nhanuwongka Wajarri and Ngarlawanga determination area abuts parts of the claim area in the southwest and, in the north, there is a substantial area of overlap with the Nyamal claim over the area of Mt.
