Spinifex Ridge is a molybdenum/copper and iron ore mining project in the Pilbara region of Australia, northeast of Marble Bar.
Moly Mines awarded production contracts to BGC Contracting in August 2010. Initially, there were plans for an open pit molybdenum/copper mine producing 20 million tonnes per year; with changes in the price of molybdenum, this was downsized to 10MT/year.
Port facilities at Port Hedland were commissioned in September 2010
Iron ore mining began in November 2010; ramping up to a throughput of 1 million tonnes per year.
