MinRes upgrades Onslow Iron haul road

Mineral Resources (ASX: MIN) has safely completed the upgrades to the Onslow Iron private haul road, allowing unconstrained haulage to resume at normal speeds.

Roadworks included seal binder upgrades and cement stabilisation to enhance pavement strength and moisture resistance, as well as asphalting along the entire length of the sealed road.

The width of the upgraded private haul road spans 11 sealed metres from edge to edge, two metres wider than typical public roads used for heavy haulage in the Pilbara region.

Mineral Resources managing director Chris Ellison comments on the upgrades.

“Onslow Iron has continued to perform very strongly even during the upgrade of the private haul road,” he said.

“The resumption of unconstrained haulage marks another significant milestone as we focus on safely delivering the project’s FY26 volume guidance.

“Onslow Iron is now established as a cash generative, lost-cost asset that underpins the deleveraging of our balance sheet while driving stable, long-term growth.”

Minor ancillary works off the road continue and are scheduled for completion next month.
