Northern Territory Project
Tennora's Flagship Project is located in the Northern Territory, Australia, within a region with a long history of mining activity and established supporting infrastructure.
The project area hosts a multi-commodity mineral system and forms the cornerstone of Tennora’s current operations and growth strategy. Tennora holds multiple granted Mining Leases over the project area and conducts activities in accordance with approved Mining Management Plans under the Northern Territory regulatory framework.
Commodities
Magnetite
Gold
Copper
Cobalt
Available geological data and historical mining activity indicate that magnetite-rich iron formations are associated with gold and base metal mineralisation. This combination provides opportunities for integrated development and value optimisation through processing and staged recovery of multiple commodities.
Stages Of Development
The Northern Territory Project is in an active operational and staged development phase.
Key characteristics of the development approach include
Progressive advancement aligned with market conditions
Focus on operational readiness and logistics capability
Ongoing optimisation of mining and processing strategies
Continuous engagement with regulators and stakeholders
This staged approach allows Tennora to manage technical, regulatory, and market risks while building long-term operational capability.
Processing Approach
Tennora’s processing strategy at the Northern Territory Project is designed to maximise recovery while maintaining operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Beneficiation of magnetite ore to produce a high-quality iron product
Recovery of gold through established metallurgical processes
Consideration of copper and cobalt recovery as part of broader development planning
Alignment of processing design with staged production and infrastructure capacity
Processing strategies are continuously reviewed and optimised based on ore characteristics, recovery performance, and market requirements.
Infrastructure and Logistics
The Northern Territory Project benefits from access to established regional infrastructure, supporting reliable transport and export operations.
Road haulage from site to regional logistics hubs
Rail transport connecting the project to export facilities
Export capability via the Port of Darwin
This integrated logistics chain enables efficient movement of product from mine site to international markets and supports Tennora’s role as a reliable supplier.
