Atlas Iron said Stage 1 operations are designed to maintain efficiency, minimise environmental impact, and reduce the need for additional infrastructure. The project has now received government approval, allowing Atlas Iron to proceed under defined environmental conditions. Atlas Iron joined forces with Roy Hill as part of the Hancock Prospecting group, under the Hancock Iron Ore banner.
