All in on Green.
Since first ore production in 2009, Christmas Creek has grown into one of the key operational mines in the Pilbara. Today, it’s helping drive the next chapter of heavy industry.
Today, it plays a critical role in supporting both our current operations and future growth.
Located on Nyiyaparli Country in the Chichester Ranges of Western Australia’s Pilbara region, Christmas Creek is also laying the foundations for commercial-scale green iron production in the Pilbara.
Not years from now. Now.
Where innovation goes to work
Christmas Creek is home to our Green Energy Hub and Green Metal Project. A real-world proving ground for the systems, technology and infrastructure driving Real Zero across our operations.
Built to test. Ready to scale.
Our Green Energy Hub is where new technology gets put to work. From offboard power units to heavy mobile fast chargers, we’re testing the equipment designed to cut fossil fuels out of mining operations for good.
