The domination of the Australian iron ore industry by Rio Tinto continues, with the official opening of another mine in Western Australia. Brockman 4 is 60 kilometres north-west of Newman, and has 530 fly-in fly-out workers. The $1.7 billion mine will initally produce 22 million tonnes of iron ore a year, a figure that will eventually double.
