Mining Jobs Australia – South Australia’s Hotspot

Arrium Mining - SA Jobs Mining Iron Knob mine - iMINCOAn existing mothballed South Australian iron ore mine has brought a new wave of hope for many seeking mining jobs in the state.

The Iron Knob mine which is situated 50kms from Whyalla, has been earmarked for a resumption of iron ore mining activity, after not operating at full scale since the late 90’s.

Iron ore was originally mined in the area and it was of such high quality that it started an iron smelting industry also. The area is referred to as the birthplace of the steel industry in Australia. It gets its name for the fact that it has large iron ore deposits and was a major contributor to Australia’s fledgling iron industry.

Board approval kick-starts South Australian iron ore mine resumption

Arrium Mining’s board recently approved the resumption of mining at the site, with big plans for three new pits close to the coastal town.

Already, the plans are underway to design and build new offices and infrastructure, including a rail line to the area upgrade to reduce the number of mining vehicles using public access roadways.

Arrium has ambitious production plans with an outlook that increased production at the�Iron Knob mine will contribute to the mining company maintaining a sales target of 12 million tonnes of iron ore per year for the next ten years.
