Atlas Iron Ltd has shipped over 1 million tonnes of ore during 2009 as the miner achieves all of its key production and operating targets.
The Australian miner shipped 1.02 million tonnes of iron ore during calendar 2009 from its Pardoo direct shipping ore project in Western Australia' Pilbara region and 1.08 million tonnes since it started shipments in December 2008, Perth-based Atlas said in a statement on Friday.
"This is a fantastic achievement for the Company, particularly when you consider that we started mining in the middle of the global financial crisis in late 2008," Atlas chief executive David Flanagan said in the statement.
"I would like to thank Atlas staff, our contractors and FMG (Fortescue Metals Group Ltd)."
Atlas shipped the ore through Fortescue's Port Hedland port facility.
