The Yilgarn Iron Producers Association Incorporated (YIPA Inc) promotes sustainable development in the Yilgarn Iron Province (YIP) and works to co-operate on rail, ports and other infrastructure.
Currently, nine iron ore producers and explorers from WA’s Yilgarn Iron Province are members of the peak industry body, the Yilgarn Iron Producers Association Incorporated.
In the YIP, all but one billion tonne projects are members as are almost all smaller companies, giving YIPA solid representation across the Province.
The aims of the Association are to promote:
- sustainable economic development and mining and community, indigenous and environmental achievement in the YIP, and
- the interests of prospective and current iron miners and the development of infrastructure throughout the YIP and rail and export ports.
The Province extends from Wiluna to Koolyanobbing near Southern Cross and 150 km west of the Leonora-Kalgoorlie-Esperance Port infrastructure corridor (see map).Inaugural YIPA Chairman, Gregory Bromley said, the co-operative development of rail and other infrastructure could turn the central Yilgarn into Australia’s next big iron ore powerhouse. This would have a significant economic benefit to the Yilgarn-Goldfields-Esperance area.
“Having a concentration of prospective mines in such a small area with 15 billion tonnes plus of ore earmarks the province as one of great potential. For example about half a dozen new mines could be serviced by about 160 km of new track plus spurs and we would be working towards upgrading the existing link to Esperance Port and co-operating in the planning issues at the Port."
