Miralga Creek mine

The Miralga Creek mine is an iron ore mine operated by Atlas Iron and located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 100 kilometres (62 mi) south-east from Port Hedland.

Ore from the mine is transported overland via road train to the Utah Point Bulk Commodities Berth at Port Hedland.

The Miralga Creek mine is located in the vicinity of the former Abydos mine, operated by Atlas from 2011 to 2016 at a production rate of approximately 3 million tonnes (6.6 billion pounds) per annum.

Mining is to be conducted in five open pits, spread over three areas, with the crushed ore then transported by road train to the Utah Point Bulk Commodities Berth at Port Hedland.
