From Mount Goldsworthy to Area C – reflections on forty years of iron ore exploration in the Pilbara

Abstract

The evolution of BHP Billiton Iron Ore resulted in an eclectic mix of mines/ores, each with their varied exploration and evaluation histories. Discussion of some aspects of these histories, and reflections on changes in exploration-related activities with particular reference to discussion of advances in geological understanding since the 1960s forms the basis of this paper.
