history
In 2006 Fortescue planned its loading facilities in Herb Elliot Port at Port Hedland , the Fortescue Railway and the alignment of the opencast mines of the Chichester Hub. Iron ore production began two years later at the Cloud Break Mine and in 2009 at the Christmas Creek Mine . In 2014, the Firetail Mine and Kings Mine opencast mines began production, which together form the Salomon Hub. The alignment of these pits cost A $ 8.4 billion. Fortescu sold 40 million tons of iron ore in 2011 and 165 million tons in the 2014-2015 financial year.
