Year Founded

The company was established in 2006 through the merger of three specialist mining-services firms.

AUD 5.3b

Revenue FY2024

The company generated AUD 5.3 billion in revenue during the fiscal year ending 2024.

Two Lithium Assets

Major Resources

The company operates two significant lithium mining assets, Mount Marion and Wodgina.

Three Iron Hubs

Mining Operations

It manages three key iron-ore hubs in Pilbara, Yilgarn, and Ashburton.

It supports Tier 1 mining operations across WA with integrated pit‑to‑port services including crushing, screening, processing, logistics and engineering.
The company's Onslow Iron project achieved a significant milestone by supplying its first ore to port in May 2024.
Its energy arm extends operations into natural‑gas production to power mining and regional infrastructure.
Typical projects combine large‑scale commodity mining with engineering services—from mine set‑up to rehabilitation.
The company has taken unusual operational steps, such as acquiring its own rail fleet and streamlining access points to enhance efficiency.
It demonstrated agility by acquiring and subsequently mothballing the Bald Hill lithium operation in response to market conditions.
