BHP Billiton Iron Ore has two Beneficiation facilities, one at Mt Whaleback and the other at Finucane Island. The Mt Whaleback beneficiation plant treats contact ores using a heavy medium (ferrosilicon), drums, cyclones and spiral circuit techniques to separate the heavier iron ore from the lighter overburden materials. The Finucane Island beneficiation plant uses a similar process to upgrade ore from Yarrie through a wet high intensity magnetic separation circuit and spirals and jigs.
Once the ore is processed at the mines, it is stockpiled over railway loadout facilities. From there, it is loaded into ore cars, for railing to Port Hedland
