Combined, the three refineries have a production capacity of about 10 million tonnes of alumina per year.
Worsley Alumina - Boddington Worsley Alumina established its bauxite mine and alumina refinery in the early 1980s. The mine is located near Boddington and the bauxite is transported 51km by conveyor belt to the refinery at Worsley. Alumina is then transported 50km by rail and exported through the Port of Bunbury.
Worsley’s operations are currently undergoing an expansion and efficiency upgrade designed to increase production capacity of the refinery to 4.6 million tonnes per annum. This project, at a cost of around $2.5billion, is one of the largest single industrial investments in WA’s South West region. A further $500 million is also being spent on a new multi-fuel cogeneration power plant at the refinery.
Mineral Sands - During 2009-10, the value of mineral sands produced in WA stood at $665 million. Access Group has been involved in the major projects in this industry.
Chandala – Mineral Sands Processing Plant The processing sequence that turns Tiwest’s mineral sands into finished product begins at the Chandala Processing Plant located about 60 kilometres north of Perth. Tiwest produces approximately 420,000 tonnes of ilmenite, 70,000 tonnes of zircon, 35,000 tonnes of rutile and 20,000 tonnes of leucoxene a year.

Of particular note are Boddington in WA and Olympic Dam in SA. output increased by 20% to 164 tonnes or 5.3 million ounces. Over the same Boddington – Gold Mine The Boddington goldmine is located 17km north west of Boddington. It was officially period, Australia’s gold reopened on 3 February 2010 and is expected to become Australia’s largest gold production increased by mine once it reaches full production. During 2009-10, its production output was 11.9 10% to 239 tonnes. In tonnes. 2009-10, WA accounted for around 71% of Prominent Hill – Gold Mine Australia’s gold production. OZ Minerals Limited owns 100% of the Prominent Hill copper-gold project located in South Australia. Commissioning of the new copper-gold mine occurred in February 2009 with first sales of Prominent Hill concentrate occurring in April 2009. The Prominent Hill operation is comprised of an open pit mine, a conventional grinding and flotation processing plant with an 8mtpa capacity, a permanent village and a haulage road, power line and bore field.
Olympic Dam – Gold & Copper Mine Olympic Dam is a mining centre in South Australia. The Olympic Dam expansion completed the pre-feasibility stage during 2008. BHP Billiton is considering a further major expansion of Olympic Dam to more than double its current production capacity. If the expansion proceeds, it is likely to see the advent of open pit operations in addition to the existing underground mine, and will become one of the largest of its type in the world.

The upgrade was needed to provide a consistent and reliable power supply to the South Fremantle substation, and reliable supply while repairs and maintenance work are carried out. The transmission line was upgraded from split-phase to dual circuit, with the existing overhead earth wire to be replaced with an optical fibre ground wire (OPGW). The OPGW incorporates the functions of both an earth wire and communication fibres, which now connects the Kwinana Power Station with the South Fremantle substation, improving communication links and regional power output.
