2024年12月18日 · As global demand for iron continues to rise, geologists in Australia have uncovered the largest iron ore deposit ever documented in the Hamersley province of Western Australia, challenging long-held theories about Earth's mineral formation.

2024年12月13日 · The scale and value of the Hamersley deposit have geologists and economic experts discussing what it might mean for resource exploration. The region is home to some of the richest iron ore reserves on Earth, and this latest discovery cements its importance.

The Marra Mamba Iron Formation is the lowermost unit of the Proterozoic Hamersley Group in the northwestern part of Western Australia. The Marra Mamba Iron Formation varies considerably in thickness, as based on sections measured in the field; however, not enough drill hole data are available to provide a quantitative assessment of its ...

2024年8月1日 · Huge iron ore deposits in Western Australia's Hamersley Province formed when major tectonic events led to the breakup of supercontinent Columbia and to the amalgamation of Australia.

The Hamersley Iron Ore Project is strategically located in the infrastructure ready, Pilbara Iron-ore region of Western Australia. The Project consists of the granted Mining Lease (M47/1450) and is situated near iron ore producing mines owned by Rio Tinto and Fortescue with access to road and rail infrastructure.

2024年8月29日 · Using a new geochronology technique to accurately measure the age of iron oxide minerals, researchers found the Hamersley deposits formed between 1.4 and 1.1 billion years ago, rather than 2.2 billion years ago as previously estimated.

2000年4月3日 · The Hamersley iron resources, contained in banded iron formations of precambrian age, cover extensive areas of the Pilbara region. Haematite is the principal iron mineral. In the first quarter of 2010 proven and probable reserves at Hamersley’s Pilbara operations yielded 3,344Mt of saleable ore.

A team of geologists has unveiled the largest iron ore deposit ever recorded, located in the Hamersley Range of Western Australia. Estimated at 55 billion metric tons, this immense reserve not...

Fortescue is one of the world’s lowest cost iron ore producers. We’re decarbonising our operations profitably by 2030, while pivoting into delivering the green metals our planet needs to step beyond fossil fuels.

Hamersley Iron Ore, a Rio Tinto company, started the strategic assessment process for its operations in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA). Strategic assessments are a collaboration between the Australian Government and an assessment partner.
