Report summary
FMG's Eliwana mine has been operational since December 2020 and has now reached full production capacity. In 2024, the mine produced 27.7 Mt, slightly below the initially projected 30 Mtpa. The operation has proven to be highly efficient, with C1 costs of US$13.7 per tonne in 2024, making it one of FMG's lowest-cost operations. This efficiency is attributed to dry beneficiation, a low strip ratio of 1.1:1, the use of autonomous trucks, and other advanced technologies. Total capital cost is estimated to be US$1.275 billion, translating to a capital intensity of US$42 per tonne.
