Report summary
Yandicoogina is a conventional open cut iron ore mine located approximately 90 kilometres north-west of Newman. With the depletion of the orebody, it is expected to ramp down by 2031. It used to be Rio Tinto's lowest cost mine due to its scale, low strip ratio, high mass recovery and simplicity of the orebody. But it also produces the lowest Fe grade product of Rio Tinto's iron ore mines.
