Australia's Fortescue Metals Group (FMG), the world's fourth-largest iron ore miner, has announced that its first magnetite product with Fe grade greater than 68% was successfully made from the Iron Bridge Magnetite project in Western Australia's Pilbara region, after 20 years of planning, according to a press release by FMG on May 1.

Further to the first production of wet concentrate by the Ore Processing Facility at the Iron Bridge site on April 22, it has been transported through the 135 kilometre specialist slurry pipeline to Port Hedland to be dewatered and converted into high-grade magnetite product, ready to be shipped, according
