Company Overview
The Company is developing its 100% owned Razorback Iron Ore Project located in South Australia’s Braemar Iron Formation with Stage 1 operations designed to produce 5Mtpa of magnetite concentrates, expandable to 10Mtpa. The global steel industry has committed to decarbonise steelmaking and the timing of this development is in line with the forecast increase in demand for premium-quality iron ore products required to produce green iron and consequently green steel. Green iron, which is produced using hydrogen instead of coal, is the key ingredient of “green steel” and is expected to attract a premium price. An explanation of “green iron” can be found here.
​
Currently Australia does not produce any iron ore or magnetite concentrate products that meet the very high quality specifications required for green iron production. The Company’s Razorback Iron Ore Project can produce the required specification of DR-grade, very low impurity products necessary for green iron production and is designed to deliver long-term supply of magnetite concentrates to enable a new green iron production and export industry.

Razorback: Expansive, soft, outcropping iron ore in an outstanding location
6 Billion
Tonne Resource
240 km
Northeast of Adelaide
Magnetite Mines holds a substantial Mineral Resource Estimate of 6 billion tonnes across its wholly-owned tenements, situated approximately 240 kilometers northeast of Adelaide. The Razorback Iron Ore Project stands out due to its unique geographical features. Unlike harder magnetites found elsewhere, the iron ore here is nestled within soft siltstone, requiring minimal stripping for extraction.
Additionally, the project benefits from excellent existing infrastructure, including access to heavy haul rail, iron ore ports, and high-voltage grid power. Notably, the access to renewable energy positions Razorback for a significantly reduced carbon footprint, aligning perfectly with the industry's growing focus on sustainability.
