Mineral Resources

Mineral Resources is an Australian mining services and mining company that operates primarily in the iron-ore and lithium sectors. The company is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, where it is a constituent of the ASX 200 index. Mineral Resources operates through two main divisions: mining services, which provides contract crushing, processing and logistics to the resources sector, and commodities, which encompasses its own mining operations. The company's key assets include iron-ore operations in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, including facilities near Onslow, as well as lithium projects that have positioned it as a significant player in the battery minerals market. Mineral Resources has grown through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, building a vertically integrated business model that spans mine development, processing infrastructure and export logistics. The company employs several thousand people across its operations and service contracts. Its iron-ore production is sold primarily to customers in Asia, while its lithium output targets the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets. Mineral Resources has expanded rapidly since its origins as a mining services contractor, evolving into a diversified resources group with substantial commodity exposure. The company was founded in the 1990s and listed on the ASX in 2006, since which time it has become one of Australia's larger mid-tier mining companies.
