The mine has an annual production capacity of {{convert|25000000|t}} of iron ore, sourced from open-pit operations. The ore is processed on site before being loaded onto rail.[9] Ore from the mine is then transported to the coast through the Hamersley & Robe River railway, where it is loaded onto ships.[10] The mine's workforce is on a fly-in fly-out roster.[9] The mine is located near the Mesa J mine.[3] The new Mesa A mine is scheduled to replace the Mesa J mine which is nearing the end of its life span.[1] After a two-year construction period and expenses of A$1 billion, the mine began operation in February 2010. The mine is initially scheduled for a mine life of eleven years.[11] Robe River Iron AssociatesRobe River Iron, owner of the mine, is jointly owned by the following companies:[2]
Robe River Iron operates the West Angelas, Mesa A and Mesa J mines.[1] Rio Tinto acquired its share of 53% in late 2000, when it took over mining company North Limitd.[12] References1. ^1 2 Western Australian Mineral and Petroleum Statistic Digest 2008-09 Department of Mines and Petroleum website, accessed: 8 November 2010 2. ^1 MINEDEX website: Deepdale Mesa A search result {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080911130252/http://minedexext.doir.wa.gov.au/minedex/external/common/appMain.jsp |date=2008-09-11 }} accessed: 6 November 2010 3. ^1 2 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 4. ^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 5. ^Preparing for the future {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715190134/http://www.riotintoironore.com/documents/AJM_23_Mar_2010_FINAL.pdf |date=2011-07-15 }} Rio Tinto presentation, published: 23 March 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 6. ^Global iron-ore production falls 6,2% in 2009 - Unctad report miningweekly.com, published: 30 July 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 7. ^Production of iron ore fell in 2009, but shipments continued to increase, report says{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} UNCTAD website, published: 30 July 2010, accessed: 7 November 2010 8. ^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 9. ^1 Mesa A mine Rio Tinto Iron Ore website, accessed: 6 November 2010 10. ^Rail {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701061825/http://www.riotintoironore.com/ENG/operations/497_rail.asp |date=2013-07-01 }} Rio Tinto Iron Ore website, accessed: 6 November 2010 11. ^Rio starts production at Mesa A/Warramboo The West Australian, published: 22 February 2010, accessed: 8 November 2010 12. ^The Australian Mines Handbook - 2003-04 edition, editor: Ross Louthean, publisher: Louthean Media Pty Ltd, page: 243 External links
