The combined production capacity of the Paraburdoo, Eastern Range and Channar mines is 20 million tonnes of iron ore. The ore is processed both at Channar and at Paraburdoo before being loaded onto rail, being transported from Channar to Paraburdoo by conveyor belt.[8] Ore from the mine is then transported to the coast through the Hamersley & Robe River railway, where it is loaded onto ships.[9] Ore from Channar, like that from Brockman, Mount Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Eastern Range, Marandoo and Yandicoogina, is transported as lump and fines ore product from the mines to Dampier via rail. Before being loaded onto ships for export, the product is blended and rescreened. The maximum size for the lumps is 31.5 mm, while the fines are at a maximum of 6.3 mm.[10] The mines has a residential workforce in Paraburdoo.[8] In the calendar year 2009, the combined operations of Paraburdoo, Channar and Eastern Range employed 1,081 people, a decrease in comparison to 2008, when it employed 1,324.[11] The mine was closed for a time in late 2008, after joint venture partner Sinosteel failed to honor the benchmark contract price for ore from the Channar mine during the global financial crisis.[12] According to Credit Suisse, at the time, ore from Channar was costing the company 11% more than the equivalent product from Brazil.[13][14] The mine, which reached its full design capacity of 10 million tonnes per year by 1998, is scheduled to provide 200 million tonnes of iron ore to the Chinese steel industry throughout its life. The Channar mine was the first mineral resources project a Chinese company got involved in outside of China,[15] and was the biggest overall oversees investment at the time.[16] In 2010, Rio Tinto and Sinosteel announced plans to expand production by a further 50Mt/year[17] The mine is jointly owned by Rio Tinto, which holds 60 percent, and Chinese company Sinosteel Corporation, which owns the remaining 40 percent.[18] Rio Tinto's share of the mine is owned through Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary, which owns six mines in the Pilbara, and partly owns two more in the region, including Channar.[11] References1. ^MINEDEX website: Channar search result {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080911130252/http://minedexext.doir.wa.gov.au/minedex/external/common/appMain.jsp |date=September 11, 2008 }} accessed: 6 November 2010 2. ^1 Pilbara {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021131325/http://www.riotintoironore.com/ENG/operations/301_pilbara.asp |date=2013-10-21 }} Rio Tinto Iron Ore website, accessed: 6 November 2010 3. ^Mining {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612111105/http://www.riotintoironore.com/ENG/operations/497_mining.asp |date=2010-06-12 }} Rio Tinto Iron Ore website, accessed: 6 November 2010 4. ^Preparing for the future {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715190134/http://www.riotintoironore.com/documents/AJM_23_Mar_2010_FINAL.pdf |date=July 15, 2011 }} Rio Tinto presentation, published: 23 March 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 5. ^Global iron-ore production falls 6,2% in 2009 - Unctad report miningweekly.com, published: 30 July 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 6. ^Production of iron ore fell in 2009, but shipments continued to increase, report says{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} UNCTAD website, published: 30 July 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 7. ^Iron fact sheet - Australian Resources and Deposits {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218001043/http://www.australianminesatlas.gov.au/education/fact_sheets/iron.jsp |date=2011-02-18 }} Geoscience Australia website, accessed: 7 November 2010 8. ^1 Channar mine {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100614073453/http://www.riotintoironore.com/ENG/operations/501_channar.asp# |date=2010-06-14 }} Rio Tinto Iron Ore website, accessed: 6 November 2010 9. ^Rail {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701061825/http://www.riotintoironore.com/ENG/operations/497_rail.asp |date=July 1, 2013 }} Rio Tinto Iron Ore website, accessed: 6 November 2010 10. ^Iron fact sheet - Mining {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218001043/http://www.australianminesatlas.gov.au/education/fact_sheets/iron.jsp |date=2011-02-18 }} Geoscience Australia website, accessed: 7 November 2010 11. ^1 Western Australian Mineral and Petroleum Statistic Digest 2009 Department of Mines and Petroleum website, accessed: 7 November 2010 12. ^Sinosteel losses shut Rio mine The Sydney Morning Herald, published: 12 December 2008, accessed: 7 November 2010 13. ^Sinosteel losses seal Huang's fate The Age, published: 12 December 2008, accessed: 7 November 2010 14. ^Sinosteel shelves float amid investigation into accounting hole The Australian, published: 9 August 2010. accessed: 7 November 2010 15. ^Channar Iron Project {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716074355/http://australia.sinosteel.com/outline.jsp?column_no=0103# |date=2011-07-16 }} Sinosteel Australia website, accessed: 7 November 2010 16. ^Speech - Signing Ceremony Extension Hill Iron Ore Project Australian Embassy China website, published: 26 October 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 17. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mining-journal.com/production-and-markets/rio-tinto-extends-and-establishes-joint-ventures-in-china|accessdate=2010-12-12|title=Mining Journal - Rio Tinto extends and establishes joint ventures in China|date=2010-12-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101208074949/http://www.mining-journal.com/production-and-markets/rio-tinto-extends-and-establishes-joint-ventures-in-china#|archive-date=2010-12-08|dead-url=yes|df=}} 18. ^China in box seat on a BHP, Rio deal The Australian, published: 9 November 2007, accessed: 7 November 2010 External links
