Green Iron SA Advances Iron Ore Export Pathway at Port Pirie

Green Iron SA has conducted an engineering assessment outlining an iron ore export pathway at Port Pirie. The concept utilizes existing infrastructure for exporting iron ore concentrate, which is essential for green iron production. It includes measures to mitigate community impacts, such as dust and noise reduction. The consortium backing the project includes Flinders Ports, Aurizon, GHD, CSL Australia, and Magnetite Mines, and is set to advance pending further approvals and stakeholder engagement.
