Best Answer

In Australia, major iron mines have been operated in Western Australia and Tasmania, with lesser operations in other states.

Major iron ore mining centres in Australia include:

  • the Pilbara, Hamersley Range and the Yilgarn block in Western Australia - almost 93% of Australia's iron ore is mined in this region
  • South Australia e.g. Middleback Range

Other states and territories which mine iron ore are:

  • Tasmania (Savage River)
  • Queensland (Mount Isa)
  • New South Wales (Broken Hill, Tallawang)
  • Northern Territory (Frances River)
