Rio Tinto Kicks Off Rhodes Ridge Early Works Rio Tinto Has Started Early Works At Rhodes Ridge In Western Australia’S Pilbara, A Project Often Described As The Region’S “Last Crown Jewel”. What Rio Is Doing Now The First Phase Includes A Us$191 Million Feasibility Study (Reported As About A$294 Million) To Progress Plans For A Major New Iron Ore Operation. The Target Rio Is Aiming For The Project To Be Producing Around 40–50 Million Tonnes A Year By 2030, Subject To Approvals. The Scale Rhodes Ridge Is Estimated To Hold About 6.8 Billion Tonnes Of High-Grade Iron Ore, Making It One Of The Largest Undeveloped Iron Ore Deposits On The Planet. Why It Matters If It Gets The Green Lights, Rhodes Ridge Could Help Support Pilbara Exports For Decades, Using Rio’S Existing Regional Infrastructure As Development Ramps Up.

Wonawinta Silver Mine Eyes A Comeback Manuka Resources (Asx: Mkr) Says It’S Gearing Up For A Restart At Wonawinta, After The Operation Has Been On Care And Maintenance. The Funding Manuka Has Announced Firm Commitments For A A$15 Million Capital Raise, Aimed At Accelerating Work Toward Bringing Wonawinta Back Into Production. Why This Site Is “Restart-Ready” The Project Already Has A Built Processing Plant (About 1mtpa) And Site Infrastructure, Which Means The Plan Is Largely Refurbish And Recommission, Rather Than Build From Scratch. How Big Is The Silver Opportunity? Manuka Has Previously Reported A Total Wonawinta Silver Resource Of ~51 Million Ounces, And A Maiden Ore Reserve Of ~8.4 Million Ounces (Reserve Is The More “Mineable” Subset). Wonawinta Is In The Cobar Basin In Outback New South Wales, About 80km South Of Cobar. The China Angle Adding To The Timing: China Has Announced Tighter Controls On Silver Exports, Using An Export Licensing Approach For 2026–2027, Which Has Raised Global Supply Concerns.

Minres Expands Onslow Iron With $3.5b Build Ken’S Bore Mine Near Onslow Was Once Empty Red Desert. Today, It Sits At The Centre Of One Of Australia’S Largest New Iron-Ore Developments, As Mineral Resources Continues To Scale Up Its Onslow Iron Project In Western Australia. New Mines, Port And Haul Road Minres Is Expanding The Onslow Iron Hub With New Mining Areas, A Deep-Water Port And A 150-Kilometre Auto-Haul Road Designed For Autonomous Road Trains. The Infrastructure Forms Part Of A $3.5 Billion Investment Aimed At Building A Large, Long-Life Iron-Ore Operation With Efficient Logistics. Focus On Cost And Scale The Project Has Been Designed With Cost Control In Mind. Minres Has Previously Sold A Stake In The Haul Road Infrastructure To Reduce Capital Requirements While Keeping Access To The Critical Transport Corridor. Competing In A Changing Market As New Iron-Ore Supply Comes Online Globally, Including From Major Projects In Africa, Minres Is Positioning Onslow Iron To Compete On Cost And Reliability. The Success Of The Project Will Depend On Whether Its Scale And Infrastructure Can Deliver The Low-Cost Edge The Company Is Building Toward.

Why Spend Over $400m Building This Wa Rare-Earth Mine? Around 1,000 Kilometres North Of Perth, The Yangibana Rare-Earths Project Is Aiming To Become One Of Australia’S Key Suppliers Of Neodymium And Praseodymium (Ndpr) — Metals Used In Electric-Vehicle Motors, Wind Turbines And Defence Technology. The Site Sits In The Gascoyne Region, Far From Major Towns But Close To Some Of The Country’S Best Rare-Earth Geology. Backed By Hastings And Wyloo The Project Is Being Advanced By Hastings Technology Metals, With Major Backing From Andrew Forrest’S Wyloo. Together They Are Working On A $470 Million Development Plan To Build The Mine And Processing Facilities Needed To Produce High-Grade Concentrate. A Us Supply Chain In The Making Yangibana Is Designed To Export Around 37,000 Tonnes Of Rare-Earth Concentrate Per Year. A Key Part Of The Strategy Is Feeding New Downstream Processing Capacity In The United States, As Global Manufacturers Look To Secure Non-Chinese Sources Of Critical Minerals For Clean-Energy Technologies. Funding Remains The Final Hurdle While Early Works Have Already Begun And Government Agencies Have Provided Loan Support, The Project Still Needs To Secure Its Remaining Capital Before Full Construction Can Move Ahead. That Leaves A Central Question For Investors And Policymakers Alike: Is Yangibana Finally Close To Becoming A Reality?

Reedy Gold Mine Set For New Chapter The Old Reedy Gold Mine In Western Australia Is Set To Get A Second Chance, Following A Major Corporate Restructure By Westgold Resources. Westgold Has Announced Plans To Spin Out The Reedy Project, Along With The Nearby Comet Project, Into A New Asx-Listed Company Called Valiant Gold. Fast Track To Processing Under The Proposed Structure, Ore From Reedy And Comet Will Be Processed At Westgold’S Existing Plants. This Removes The Need For Valiant To Build Its Own Processing Facilities, Providing A Lower-Capital And Faster Pathway Back To Gold Production. The Reedy And Comet Assets Include Historic Underground Mines With Recent Production History And Established Infrastructure. Westgold Retains Exposure Following The Spin-Off And Ipo, Westgold Will Retain Up To 48 Per Cent Of The New Company. This Allows Westgold To Stay Exposed To Any Upside From Future Production Or Exploration Success, While Focusing Its Capital On Larger, Core Operations. Unlocking Smaller Gold Assets The Spin-Out Structure Is Designed To Unlock Value From Smaller Gold Assets That May Struggle To Compete For Capital Within A Larger Producer. With A Dedicated Management Team And Access To Processing Infrastructure, Valiant Gold Is Positioned To Advance Reedy And Comet Independently — Raising The Question Of Whether This Model Could Become A Blueprint For Reviving Other Historic Gold Mines Across Western Australia.
