| The Mount Tom Price Mine in Western Australia produces iron ore. Mining at Mount Tom Price yields about 19-20 million tonnes of ore each year. The mine was developed in 1966, and is a massive ore body eight kilometres long and more than one kilometre wide. The operation involves mining, crushing and dry processing high-grade rich hematite iron ore to produce lump and fines, which are blended into products.
