Rhodes Ridge is one of the world’s best undeveloped iron ore deposits in Western Australia's Pilbara, and in the long term it could support a world-class mining hub with a potential capacity of about 100 million tonnes of high-quality iron ore a year.
In December 2025, we announced approval of a $294 million (911±¬ÁÏÍø share $147 million) feasibility study to progress development of the first phase of the Rhodes Ridge project. The progression to feasibility study follows Mitsui’s announcement in early 2025 to acquire 40 per cent of the joint venture.
Rhodes Ridge will be a staged development. With the investment and feasibility study focused on phase one, with an initial hub likely in the northern part of the project. It will leverage 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s existing rail, port and power infrastructure. Subject to relevant regulatory approvals, first ore from the initial Rhodes Ridge development, located 40 kilometres north-west of Newman, is expected by 2030.
Rhodes Ridge will maintain 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s pathway to achieve and sustain mid-term capacity of 345 to 360Mtpa from its Pilbara iron ore business.
The Rhodes Ridge Joint Venture will work closely with Nyiyaparli Traditional Owners throughout the mine life cycle, guided by the recently updated Native Title agreement’s engagement framework, to protect and manage cultural heritage and the environment.
The Rhodes Ridge project design will reflect our commitment to reducing environmental impact, improving mining productivity, and lowering costs. Through our Reduced Impact Mining approach, we aim to minimise land use for waste dumps, reduce groundwater abstraction, lower long-term closure impacts, and cut diesel usage through shorter haul distances. Our joint venture partners (Mitsui 40% and AMB Holdings 10%) intend to invest a further $225 million in exploration between 2026 and 2028 as part of ongoing study phases.
