Atlas Iron expects to resume production at its Mt Webber iron ore mine in Western Australia in July 2015. Atlas has secured a new deal with mining contractor BGC Contracting, which will be paid both cash and shares, although the value of the deal will be linked to Atlas’s proposed capital raising. Atlas previously struck new deals with other contractors, including McAleese. Atlas anticipates that Mt Webber’s break-even price will be $US50 when mining resumes. Annual production is slated to be six million tonnes.
