Fenix Resources Secures Approval for Beebyn-W10 Iron Ore Mine, Expanding Operations in Western Australia
Fenix Resources has received the necessary regulatory and environmental approvals to develop its Beebyn-W10 iron ore mine, which is located adjacent to its existing Beebyn-W11 operation within the Weld Range Project in Western Australia. The approvals include a Mining Development and Closure Proposal and a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit from the state's Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. Additionally, the Department of Water and Environmental Protection has granted a Prescribed Premises Works Licence, allowing for a production capacity of up to six million tonnes per annum at the Beebyn Hub. The Beebyn-W10 site is within the Wajarri Yamaji People Native Title Claim area, and Fenix has signed a letter of consent with the Wajarri Yamaji People to begin mining under a Cultural Heritage Agreement. Ore production is expected to commence this quarter, with the first shipping anticipated in the December 2026 quarter.
