Atlas Iron awarded Maca contract to carry out open pit mining services at the Corunna Downs iron project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Client: Maca
Location: Pilbara region of Western Australia
Technology implemented: Ecofarmer 50 series wastewater treatment plant
Industry: Mining
BACKGROUND
Corunna Downs, which is 100 per cent owned by Atlas Iron, is 33 kilometres south of Marble Bar and close to the iron ore miner’s Mt Webber project. The mine is expected to annually produce four million tonnes of iron ore initially. The life of the mine is expected to be between five and six years, with potential for future expansion as the current ore reserve considers only the above-water table resource.
Remote Water Treatment Services have designed in their custom Ecofarmer fabricated engineered reactor a waste water treatment system to cater for mining administration areas, ideal for low flow scenarios.
