HanRoy, as part of Hancock Prospecting, is leading the study, design and development of the proposed Mulga Downs iron ore mine and associated infrastructure (the Project) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Located on the lands of the Banjima people, the Project site is approximately 180 km northwest of Newman, 210 km south of Port Hedland and 70 km from the existing Roy Hill rail network.
The proposed Project is a new greenfield mine producing up to 12Mtpa of direct shipping ore, and will require the construction and operation of:
- mine pits, waste rock landforms and hydraulic structures;
- mine dewatering, reinjection and water supply network;
- dry ore crushing and screening plants;
- energy supply infrastructure;
- accommodation camp, aerodrome and associated infrastructure;
- haul road and light vehicle road networks;
- ancillary buildings and non-process infrastructure;
- a new rail siding at 'Hillside' on the existing Roy Hill railway;
- front end loader train loading facilities and infrastructure.
HanRoy has completed a feasibility study for the Project. Construction is subject to gaining required Government approvals, finalising agreements with stakeholders, and the company taking a positive final investment decision.
While HanRoy is seeking expressions of interest from contractors, no tenders will be released until there is a final decision to proceed with construction of the Project. We anticipate this will occur during H2, 2026.
