[2][3] In 2009, the combined Pilbara operations produced 202 million tonnes of iron ore, a 15 percent increase from 2008.

The mine has an annual production capacity of 8.7 million tonnes of iron ore, sourced from open-pit operations.

[8] Ore from the mine is then transported to the coast through the Hamersley & Robe River railway, where it is loaded onto ships.

[2] Like the Channar mine, Brockman 2 was closed for a time in late 2008 during the Great Recession,[12] with the operation mothballed.

[11] On 16 August 2011, an employee was killed at the mine, being crushed by a hydraulic cylinder of a front-end loader, causing operations to be stopped for a number of days.
