Arc Infrastructure is pleased to have reached an agreement with Karara Mining Limited (KML) to facilitate an increase in KML iron ore to be transported on the Arc network via Geraldton Port over the coming months.
Located 200km south-east of Geraldton, KML is the largest mining operation and the first major magnetite mine in the Mid West. KML produces a premium high-grade magnetite concentrate product for export to global steelmakers.
From mid-February until the end of June 2025, KML will operate an additional four services per week on the Arc network, enabling the transport of an additional 500,000 tonnes of iron ore over that period.
The increase in KML services reflects the continuing development and growth of KML’s business and Arc’s support of its customers and ongoing commitment to increasing freight on rail.
Arc Infrastructure Acting CEO Nathan Speed said the agreement with KML was testament to Arc’s focus on increasing freight on rail, while providing a boost to the regions in which our network operates.
“Arc has been proud to support the KML operation since it commenced in 2012, an operation that late last year surpassed 100 million tonnes of total product transported on our network,” Mr Speed said.
“We’re pleased to be able to expand that support in order to assist KML with this temporary increase in operations as we look to continue growing volume in the Mid West.
“We will continue to work collaboratively with KML, our above rail operators and our customers towards the common goal of increased freight on rail.”
