Fenix Resources’ haulage business, Newhaul, has transported more than 10 million dry metric tonnes of iron ore from operations in Western Australia’s Mid-West.
The milestone reflects the rapid expansion of Fenix’s integrated mining and logistics supply chain since production began at the Iron Ridge Iron Ore Mine in December 2020.
Iron ore production initially started at a rate of 1.3 million tonnes per annum but has steadily increased as the company developed additional assets in the region.
The commissioning of the Shine Iron Ore Mine in 2024 and the development of the Beebyn-W11 Iron Ore Mine in 2025 have lifted Fenix’s current production run rate to around 4.5 million tonnes per annum.
The company reported that more than one million tonnes of iron ore was hauled during the December 2025 quarter alone, as mining, road haulage and port logistics operations continued to scale.
The latest figure confirms that total volumes transported by Newhaul since production began have now exceeded 10 million tonnes.
The milestone also completes the final performance target linked to Fenix’s acquisition of Newhaul in 2022. Under the agreement, milestone payments were tied to haulage volumes, with the final tranche triggered once 10 million tonnes had been transported.
Following the achievement of the milestone, Newhaul founder Craig Mitchell has stepped down from his role as a Director of Fenix.
Executive Chairman John Welborn said Mitchell had played a key role in establishing the company’s integrated haulage capability.
“Craig has been integral in Fenix’s success to date and has helped develop the strong management team and the performance-driven culture that will take the business forward,” said Welborn.
Mitchell will remain involved with the company in an advisory capacity for the next 12 months to support the continued development of the logistics business.
