MINING

Crosslands owns and operates the Jack Hills iron ore mine, 380 kilometres north-east of Geraldton where we use low cost, open pit mining to extract premium grade iron ore. The ore is crushed and screened at Jack Hills, before being trucked 640 kilometres via Cue to a storage and transfer facility at the Port of Geraldton. High grade lump and fines are then loaded and shipped to customers in Korea and China. 

Crosslands employs more than 330 people, both directly and contractors, and we aim to increase our workforce in the long term.

Crosslands began mining at Jack Hills in November 2006, with the first shipment of ore in February 2007. Latest figures show we are mining at a rate of 1.8 million tonnes per annum and shipping in excess of 1.5 million tonnes per annum, with grades exceeding 64% Fe for lump and 61% Fe for fines.

Jack Hills has a significant exploration upside and Crosslands aims to develop this area to its full potential. This will mean a substantial increase in our iron ore production, creating new growth and job opportunities for the mid-west region.
