Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd proposes to develop a new Direct Shipping Ore iron ore mine at Murray's Hill in the Pilbara, and will extract iron ore at a rate of up to 5 million tonnes per annum. Mining is proposed above the water table and no dewatering will be required. The project consists of one mine pit, waste dump, crushing and screening plant, accommodation plant, and associated infrastructure.
Note: This proposal is now referred to as the ‘Murray’s Hill Project’ and is a separate proposal to the Mulga Downs Iron Ore Project (Assessment number 2326).
