Picture this: 2 billion tones is 2.5 times the estimated weight of the entire human population! The hard work and extraordinary efforts of our Fortescue family are being celebrated for reaching the milestone of 2 billion tonnes of Iron Ore.

The hard work and extraordinary efforts of our Fortescue family are being celebrated for reaching the milestone of 2 billion tonnes of Iron Ore.
We started our business just 20 years ago, began full-scale operations 15 years ago, reached 1 billion tonnes of iron ore shipped five years ago. This sort of efficiency is the result of courage, determination and a never give up attitude… we thrive on stretch targets!
Our mining infrastructure is connected to five berth Herb Elliott Port and Judith Street Harbour towage facility in Port Hedland via the fastest heavy haul railway in the world.
Congratulations Fortescue family – we couldn’t be prouder!
