The Iron Chieftain iron ore mine will be operated as an open cut hematite mining operation consisting of a primary and secondary pit.

The development involves the construction of the mine, a waste rock dump and Run of Mine (ROM) pads and a 4 kilometre haul road between Iron Chieftain and Iron Knight, where the ore will be processed.

From there, the product will be railed to Whyalla and exported.

The Iron Chieftain development forms part of OneSteel's Project Magnet Phase 2, supporting a hematite production target of 6 million tonnes per annum for the next 10 years.

As the ore will be blended to meet export grade targets, the actual minelife for Iron Chieftain will depend on the detailed sequencing of production and beneficiation across all of OneSteel's South Middleback Ranges mines.
