The Client & Operation
Territory Resources 100% owned Frances Creek Iron Ore mine is located 220kms south of Darwin near the township of Pine Creek and 15kms from the Adelaide-Darwin rail line. Territory commenced production at Frances Creek in May 2007, and made its first shipment of iron ore to China in September 2007, the first iron ore shipment from the Port of Darwin in more than 30 years.
Ore is sourced from a series of open pits using conventional drill, blast, hydraulic excavator and trucking methods and then crushed into a lump or fines product specification, transported to a rail siding and loaded onto trains for transportation to the company’s stockyard at Darwin's East Arm Port.
Ore from Frances Creek is sold via a life-of-mine marketing agreement with the company’s owner, the Noble Group, a global leader in supply chain management. Noble plays a key role as intermediary in the supply chain of iron ore into China, and currently trades around 20 million tonnes annually into the Chinese market. Noble provide the company a very stable capital backing and significant Exploration programmes are underway to extend life of Mine.
