Magnetite Mines Razorback Ridge Iron Ore Porject
Magnetite Mines Insights

LOWER EMISSIONS

Magnetite ores can be reduced with less heat, making them ideal feedstock for low carbon steel production.

LOWER IMPURITIES

Magnetite concentrates contain lower levels of impurities (silicon, phosphorous, sulphur, aluminium) compared to haematite DSO.

PREMIUM PRICES

Iron ore concentrates derived from magnetite are a premium product and attract higher prices from steelmakers.

HIGH GRADE LOW IMPURITIES

Premium product

The Project aims to produce a premium DR-grade iron ore concentrate at 68.5% iron with low deleterious elements (silica, alumina and phosphorus). As DSO grades decline and steel mills face increasing pressure to decarbonise, Razorback’s premium product is expected to be in high demand as critical new supply for decarbonised steelmaking.

COMPANY

Magnetite Mines

The Company has a 100% owned Mineral Resource of 6 billion tonnes of iron ore and is developing the Razorback Iron Ore Project, located 240km from Adelaide, to meet accelerating market demand for premium iron ore products created by iron and steel sector decarbonisation, with the potential to produce high-value Direct Reduction (DR) grade concentrates.

 

Razorback is set to become a very long-life iron ore project with expansion optionality in a tier 1 jurisdiction that will produce a superior iron ore product sought by steelmakers globally.

OPENING UP THE BRAEMAR

Projects

Our portfolio in South Australia includes our flagship 4.5 billion tonne Razorback Iron Ore Project located just 240 kilometres northeast of Adelaide in arid, low-intensity pastoral country. The Project benefits from close proximity to existing infrastructure including open-user rail (~45km), the renewables-weighted South Australian grid forecast to be 100% renewable by 2027 (~120km) and a number of Spencer Gulf ports (~200km). The majority of the Project’s 110km strike zone is largely underexplored

The 1.2 billion tonne Muster Dam Iron Ore Project, offers exciting exploration and development potential.
