Just some examples of companies that transport ore in WA.
Examples of Long-Distance Ore Transport (>500 km round trip): 1. Deflector Gold Mine (Doray Minerals): • Location: Gullewa, about 160 km east of Geraldton. • Transport Route: Deflector ore is transported to Golden Grove for processing, approximately 250 km one-way. This makes the round trip about 500 km. • Reason: Lack of local facilities and reliance on processing plants designed for certain ore types. 2. Tropicana Gold Mine (AngloGold Ashanti/Regis Resources): • Location: About 330 km east-northeast of Kalgoorlie. • Transport Route: Some ore and materials are transported between the mine site and Kalgoorlie for certain processing needs, though Tropicana has its own on-site plant. Round trips for specific cases can exceed 600 km. • Reason: This is primarily to leverage specialized facilities not available on-site. 3. Dalgaranga Gold Mine (Gascoyne Resources): • Location: About 70 km northwest of Mt Magnet. • Transport Route: In some cases, ore has been transported to Mt Magnet or other nearby processing hubs, depending on operational strategies. Certain logistics routes result in 500+ km round trips. • Reason: Optimization of processing infrastructure during different phases of mine operation. 4. Yandal Gold Operations: • Location: Northern Goldfields (e.g., Bronzewing, Jundee). • Transport Route: In some instances, ore from satellite deposits within the Yandal Belt has been transported to processing hubs in Leonora or Kalgoorlie, exceeding 500 km round trips. • Reason: Centralised processing of ores from smaller or satellite deposits.
