Diversified miner Rio Tinto says it is looking to increase capacity at its Gudai-Darri iron-ore mines, in the Pilbara, from 43-million tonnes a year to 50-million tonnes a year, at a cost of around A$130-million, through incremental productivity gains.

The $3.1-billion Gudai-Darri mine started production last year and reached its planned yearly capacity of 43-million tonnes in less than 12 months from first ore.

Rio says that the planned capacity increase will be achieved through upgrades within the plant, including chutes and conveyor belts, as well as using an existing incremental crushing and screening facility already on site.
