Fortescue Metals Group’s Peter Meurs says encouraging results from the first stage of a magnetite project in Western Australia may prompt it to proceed to the next stage. The Iron Bridge joint venture has initially targeted two million tonnes of magnetite ore, and Meurs believes that this could be increased to 20 million tonnes. He has refuted suggestions that this would add to the global oversupply of iron ore, arguing that the bulk of iron ore exported from Australia is haematite ore.
