PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Iron-ore miner Western Desert Resources has awarded project house Thiess a A$135-million three-year mining contract at the Roper Bar mine, in the Northern Territory.

Thiess has been providing on the ground mobilisation and project support at Roper Bar since November last year. The mining contract was expected to start on January 13, with Thiess leading the mining operations.

Roper Bar was officially opened in December last year. At full capacity, the mine would have a 1.5-million-tonne-a-year capacity, which would be increased to three-million tonnes a year by the third year of operation.

The project is located some 600 km from Darwin, and iron-ore would be exported from the Bing Bong loading facility.
