The Mt Webber mine is an iron ore mine operated by Atlas Iron and located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 230 kilometres (140 mi) from Port Hedland, to where the ore is transported.
The mine officially opened in July 2014 and was, at the time, the company’s fifth operation, initially contributing 1 million tonnes (2.2 billion pounds) of iron ore per annum to the company's production.
[3] The mine reopened two month later, in July 2015, after Atlas had reached a A$12 million mining royalties relief deal with the Government of Western Australia and reduced its production cost to below A$50, at an iron ore market price of A$61.50 at the time.
Expected production figures at the time were 6 million tonnes (13 billion pounds) per annum for the next eight years.
[4] Atlas Iron was acquired by Redstone Resources, a fully owned subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting in October 2018.
