In 2017, Yandi became the second WA-based iron ore mine to achieve a billion tonnes of ore produced in its lifetime. Cliffs Robe River Iron Associates (CRRIA) originally operated a 168 kilometre railway built in 1971 by Morrison-Knudson-Mannix-Oman (MKMO) from the crushing and port facilities at Cape Lambert (Point Walcott), located 16km to the north of the pioneer town of Roebourne, 4km west of Point Sampson and immediately north of the company town of Wickham, running a roughly south westerly direction inland to the mining area known as the Robe Valley, later known as Middle Robe and located east of the 'closed' company town of Pannawonica. The four power stations are; Paraburdoo, Yurralyi Maya, West Angelas and Cape Lambert. A new car dumper to suit the 'M' waggon types was also built at Cape Lambert to allow the West Angelas ore to be dumped there. Traditionally, reclaimer maintenance requires piece-by-piece removal of components while the machine is out of service, resulting in shutdowns that are complex and high risk for our people. Gudai-Darri sets a benchmark for our industry in terms of automation and using real-time data to drive decisions making mining safer and more productive. We have an established High Load Movement (HLM) application process that manages the safe movement of oversize vehicles around Rio Tinto's Iron Ore Pilbara Operations, and serviced townships as outlined in the area map. 4006 was purchased along with 4002 in 1971 by Bechtel Pacific from A.E. Iron ore is integral to the steel-making process and one of the most sought after commodities in the world. The mine has an annual production capacity of 52 million tonnes of iron ore, sourced from open-pit operations. Cut-off grades used for estimating the Mineral Resources are: BKM 54% Fe, MM 54% Fe, CID 52% Fe and DID 58% Fe and <= 6% Al2O3. Truckmaker Scania and mining giant Rio Tinto are testing an autonomous truck in a Western Australian mine. Hamersley Iron operate their heavy haul railway from the Port of Dampier 280 km to Wombat Junction where the Tom Price (295 km) spur leaves the main to continue to Paraburdoo (385 km) with two branch lines diverting from Rosella Loop (251 km). Workers will be accommodated at the new 780-room village camp. Original operations involved three heavy haul ALCo locomotives and 135 ore waggons with the safe working system being a radio based train order type system.

AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 26: The mining camp at Rio Tinto Group's Yandi mine is seen in Western Australia, on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009. 166 SPECIAL PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY JOHN A. STRIJK, GOVERNMENT PRINTER AT 12.30 PM STATE OF WESTERN They are in the Rio Tinto silver with red stripes and numerals. [2][3] In 2009, the combined Pilbara operations produced 202 million tonnes of iron ore, a 15 percent increase from 2008. Loaded trains that were banked out of Mesa J to Maitland Siding normally employed a pair of unmanned CM40-8M GE locomotives controlled by the driver up the front of the train and these were uncoupled 'on the fly' at Maitland Siding. Work near power lines and other electrical installations must be planned to ensure: We can provide assistance in determining whether there will be adequate separation between the works and any adjacent power lines. Rio Tinto said the worker died at its Yandicoogina iron ore mine, almost 100 kilometres north-west of Newman, on Tuesday morning.

The 'Lang Hancock Railway' is the name of the railway that connects the Hancock Prospecting owned Hope Downs 1 mine 460km (located 100km north west of Newman) to Rio Tinto system at Hancock Junction (406 km) on the West Angelas line and started railing ore in December 2007. The Yandicoogina mine, often shortened to Yandi, is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 95 kilometres north-west of Newman. By late 2000 Robe River was in the advanced stages of developing its new West Angelas iron ore mine located 100km to the north west of Newman and the associated rail infrastructure and it also, through a court process, was in a very good position to be granted 'third party access' to portions of Hamersley Iron's railway network to allow it to reduce the outlay of building a parallel railway to run 170 waggon trains with two locomotives from Western Creek (on the Cape Lambert line) to the top of the Chichester Range and again through Karijini National Park along the Marandoo railway to gain access to West Angelas.
