    Table1.—Attribute data for the map "Mineral Facilities of Asia and the Pacific," 2007 (Open-File Report 2010-1254). [The United States Geological Survey (USGS) surveys international mineral industries to generate statistics on the global production, distribution, and resources of industrial minerals. This directory highlights the economically significant mineral facilities of Asia and the Pacific. Distribution of these facilities is shown on the accompanying map. Each record represents one commodity and one facility type for a single location. Facility types include mines, oil and gas fields, and processing plants such as refineries, smelters, and mills. Facility identification numbers (“Position”) are ordered alphabetically by country, followed by commodity, and then by capacity (descending). The “Year” field establishes the year for which the data were reported in Minerals Yearbook, Volume III – Area Reports: Mineral Industries of Asia and the Pacific. In the “DMS Latitiude” and “DMS Longitude” fields, coordinates are provided in degree-minute-second (DMS) format; “DD Latitude” and “DD Longitude” provide coordinates in decimal degrees (DD). Data were converted from DMS to DD. Coordinates reflect the most precise data available. Where necessary, coordinates are estimated using the nearest city or other administrative district.“Status” indicates the most recent operating status of the facility. Closed facilities are excluded from this report. In the “Notes” field, combined annual capacity represents the total of more facilities, plus additional

  • China's Steel Plan Puts Challenge to Australian Iron Ore Miners 2021-01
    China’s Steel Plan Puts Challenge to Australian Iron Ore Miners 2021-01-04 08:15:20.74 GMT By Krystal Chia and Martin Ritchie (Bloomberg) -- China pledged to slash its reliance on third parties for iron ore in a five-year plan for the steel industry, amid soaring prices of the raw material and a burgeoning trade dispute with top supplier Australia. By 2025, the world’s biggest steel sector should get at least 45% of its iron inputs from sources that China controls, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a draft policy document. The proposal foresees an expanded role for China-owned mines overseas, cooperation with non-dominant suppliers, as well as greater consumption of steel scrap that’s an alternative to mined iron ore. The proposal follows a series of comments from China’s top steel officials about over-reliance on external sources of iron ore, especially as spot prices surged to more than nine-year highs in December. China produces well over half the world’s steel, and around 70% of its iron ore imports come from just two countries, Australia and Brazil. That could be of particular concern for Australia, which counts iron ore as its top commodity export earner and China as its biggest market. While Beijing has imposed curbs on a string of imports from Australia, iron ore has so far been unaffected, which analysts have attributed to the Asian country’s heavy reliance on Australian supply. China has already been moving steadily to secure iron ore resources. Some of its overseas mines include Sinosteel Corp.’s Channar mine joint venture in Australia and Shougang Group Co.’s Marcona project in Peru.

    J A N H O P E & PARTNERS PUBLIC RELATIONS CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS ABN 55 042 486 807 Business Iron ore alliance aims to pressure miners for infrastructure access JOHN PHACEAS, PERTH 477 words 19 February 2007 The Age First 1 English © 2007 Copyright John Fairfax Holdings Limited. www.theage.com.au Not available for re- distribution. FOURTEEN prospective Pilbara iron ore miners have formed a fledgling alliance to fight for access to critical transport infrastructure in the region, including the massive port and rail networks of mining giants BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. The so-called Pilbara Iron Ore Alliance will aim to present a united front to lobby for infrastructure access and investment to unlock hundreds of millions of tonnes of "stranded" iron ore resources in the region. The group is expected to adopt a similar approach to that of the Geraldton Iron Ore Alliance, which was launched last year to present a united voice in representing start-up iron ore miners in the state's mid-west, especially in relation to co-ordinating their conflicting infrastructure requirements. At a meeting at the West Perth headquarters of the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies last week, representatives from the 14 iron ore juniors met to formulate the agenda and core objectives of the alliance. Last week's meeting was initiated by Atlas Iron chief executive David Flanagan, whose company is racing with Fortescue Metals to become the first new iron ore miner in the Pilbara in more than two decades. Atlas hopes to commission its boutique 1-million-tonnes-a-year Pardoo hematite mine near Port Hedland early in 2008.

  • Case Study: Rio Tinto Iron Ore (Pilbara Iron) Centralized Monitoring Solution
    Case Study: Rio Tinto Iron Ore (Pilbara Iron) Centralized Monitoring Solution of 2007, seven mines all linked by the world’s largest privately owned rail network. CHALLENGES To meet the growing demand for their iron ore, particularly from the ever-growing Chinese market, Pilbara Iron were faced with the challenge of increasing production from their mining operations, or more importantly preventing stoppages in production, while maintaining quality. It was recognized that the process control systems at their processing plants were critical assets required to be available and reliable while keeping the plant within the optimal production limits. At the same time the mining industry, like most industries, was and is facing a worldwide shortage of skilled labor to operate and maintain their plants. Rio Tinto Iron Ore Figure 1. Pilbara Iron’s operations has the added burden of very remote mining operations, making it even harder to attract and retain experienced and skilled labor, PROFILE particularly control and process engineers. The mining operations of Rio Tinto Iron Ore (Pilbara Iron) in Australia are located in the Pilbara Region, In order to offer the benefits of living in a a remote outback area in northwest Western modern thriving city, a group of process control Australia, some 1200 kilometers from Perth.

The deposit is located in the eastern Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 75 km north-west of Newman and will be developed using conventional drill-and-blast and load-and-haul mining methods. Ore will be processed at HD1. HD1 and Baby Hope are managed by Hamersley HMS Pty Limited (Hamersley HMS), which is a member of the Rio Tinto group (Rio Tinto). Scope This closure plan has been prepared to support the Baby Hope Area referral under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). This closure plan is designed to address the closure requirements for the Baby Hope deposit and associated infrastructure. Closure is assumed to include progressive rehabilitation that will occur throughout the life of the mine. The goal of mine closure is to relinquish the site to the Government. This closure plan has been developed to meet the requirements of the joint Office of the Environmental Protection Authority / Department of Mines and Petroleum Guidelines for Preparing Mine Closure Plans (2015) 1 (Closure Guidelines).
