Eliwana Project
Overview:
Fortescue is developing the Western Hub in the Pilbara region, which includes significant amounts of high iron content bedded iron ore and is home to Fortescue’s newest mine, Eliwana. Located 140km to the west of Solomon, Eliwana Operations was commissioned in December 2020, and includes 143km of rail and approximately 30mtpa dry OPF.
Eliwana is integral to the supply chain and maintenance of our low-cost status, providing greater flexibility to capitalise on market dynamics.
Fortescue is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors and suppliers for project tendering opportunities on the Industry Capability Network of Western Australian (ICNWA) Gateway.
Local and Aboriginal participation:
In line with Fortescue’s commitment to supporting local Western Australian communities, requirements relating to the engagement of local and Aboriginal vendors or Joint Ventures will be included in the selection criteria for Eliwana tendering opportunities.
