Nammuldi mine

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

[8] The mine has an annual production capacity of 6.6 million tonnes of iron ore, sourced from open-pit operations.

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

[2] Rio Tinto briefly had to close the mine in February 2009, alongside Brockman, because of heavy rain and floods in the region.

[11] From October 2015 all of the ore trucks on the site, and those at Yandicoogina mine are remotely controlled from Perth, 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) away.
