PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Iron-ore developer Winmar Resources would launch a scoping study on the infrastructure requirements for its Hamersley iron project, in Western Australia.

In March this year, Winmar and its joint venture partner Cazaly Resources delivered a scoping study, which estimated that Hamersley could sustain a two-million-tonne-a-year direct shipping ore (DSO) project for three to four years, after which a wet beneficiated fines ore process, with a capacity of some two-million tonnes a year, would be introduced for the remainder of the 14-year mine life.

Winmar said on Monday that the infrastructure scoping study would prove up the economic viability of transporting the iron-ore from mine gate to a suitable port facility, and would examine transportation options that included a combination of road and rail, in conjunction with available port infrastructure options.

Along with the Hamersley scoping study, the infrastructure study would provide the project partners with key information to assist in discussions with partners to identify and collaborate on strategic infrastructure solutions.

The infrastructure study would take between five and six weeks to complete.
