Capital Markets Event 2023: Weir Minerals & Iron Bridge

Watch Stuart Hayton, Managing Director of Weir Minerals Venlo give an update on Iron Bridge, a major project incorporating Weir’s redefined flowsheet that is setting new standards for sustainable mining operations.

Iron Bridge is a complex and innovative iron ore project located in the Pilbara in Western Australia. Operated by Fortescue Metals Group, or FMG, it will produce 22 million tonnes a year of high-grade magnetite concentrate to support the shift to green steel production.

FMG is taking an industry leading position in tackling decarbonisation with a goal of achieving real zero operational emissions by 2030. Given their push to carbon neutrality, they were keen to work with Weir to develop the most efficient comminution solution for Iron Bridge, in terms of total cost of ownership, CO2 emissions and minimal technical risk.
