Shine Iron Ore Mine

The Shine Iron Ore Mine is situated within the Yalgoo Mineral Field, Mid-West Region of Western Australia — a semi-arid, low-relief terrain characterised by lateritic plains, shallow drainage channels, and sparse scrubland. The relatively flat topography facilitates bulk earthworks and open pit bench development, though seasonal rainfall events can compromise haul road integrity and increase cycle times for mass movement operations. Ground conditions demand rigorous geotechnical assessment prior to pit wall expansion.

As an operating DSO asset under Fenix Resources Ltd., Shine generates continuous demand for third-party mechanical, electrical, and civil contractors. The remote Yalgoo location creates acute exposure to unplanned downtime risk — mobile crushing units, conveyor systems, and heavy mobile equipment require rapid-response field service capability. B2B vendors offering on-site workshop support, parts inventory management, and DIDO-based maintenance crews hold a critical competitive advantage in this supply chain node.

• Heavy mobile equipment (HME) maintenance and tyre management
• Mobile crushing and screening plant servicing
• Electrical and instrumentation (E&I) field support
• Civil and haul road maintenance contractors

Shine operates as a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) iron ore project, bypassing complex beneficiation circuits. Primary processing is limited to run-of-mine crushing, screening, and size classification prior to road haulage to Geraldton Port. The absence of a primary grinding circuit or flotation plant reduces reagent and water infrastructure complexity; however, crushing plant availability and screen media wear rates remain critical KPIs. Dust suppression systems and ROM pad design are key engineering constraints given the arid operating environment.

• ROM crushing and multi-deck screening circuit
• Dust suppression and water cart fleet integration
• Road train load-out and weighbridge infrastructure
• No flotation or magnetic separation circuit required

Operating within Western Australia's stringent DMIRS regulatory framework, Fenix Resources is obligated to maintain an approved Mine Closure Plan and progressive rehabilitation schedule for the Shine project. As a DSO operation, tailings generation is minimal; however, waste rock management, topsoil stockpiling, and revegetation of disturbed areas remain core ESG compliance obligations. Water management in the semi-arid Yalgoo environment — including pit dewatering and dust suppression sourcing — represents a material sustainability risk requiring proactive hydrological monitoring.

• Progressive land rehabilitation and topsoil reuse protocols
• Waste rock characterisation and placement planning
• Pit dewatering and groundwater impact monitoring
• Biodiversity offset compliance under WA EPA conditions
