PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Mineral Resources (MinRes) has reported a fatality of a contractor at its Onslow iron project.

The miner said in a statement on Tuesday that an incident occurred at the Ken’s Bore site on June 12, and that the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and Western Australian Police have been notified and are making their way to the site.

MinRes is working with the contractor to provide care and support to the family and site team.

“We are shocked and deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and the whole Onslow Iron team, and our focus is on supporting them during this difficult time,” MinRes MD Chris Ellison said.

Site operations have been suspended.

The Onslow mine forms part of the Ashburton hub development, which is expected to cost between A$2.4-billion and A$2.55-billion to develop, with a 30-million-tonne-a-year capacity over an expected 30-year project life. The mine is targeted first ore-on-ship delivery in June 2024.
