Mineral Resources (OTCMKTS:MALRF) is an Australian-based diversified mining services and processing company primarily engaged in the extraction and export of iron ore, lithium, and industrial minerals. With operations centred in Western Australia’s Pilbara and Goldfields regions, the company combines resource development with a vertically integrated logistics and infrastructure platform, enabling it to control key stages of the supply chain from mine to port.
The company’s iron ore division focuses on high-grade hematite production, supplying both domestic and international steel manufacturers. In recent years, Mineral Resources has expanded its footprint in the rapidly growing lithium market through the development of spodumene projects in the Greenbushes and Mt Marion regions. These lithium operations support global demand for battery-grade spodumene, positioning the company as a significant player in the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors.
In addition to its mining activities, Mineral Resources offers contract mining and engineering services to third parties, leveraging its owned fleet of heavy earthmoving equipment and specialised rail and port infrastructure. The company operates private rail networks and port terminals at Utah Point in Port Hedland, providing a seamless logistics solution that enhances operational efficiency and reduces third-party reliance. Through its mineral processing capabilities, Mineral Resources also produces chemical-grade concentrates and tailored mineral products to meet specific customer requirements.
Founded in the early 1990s and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2006, Mineral Resources has grown under the leadership of Managing Director Chris Ellison, whose tenure has emphasised strategic project development and sustainable mining practices. The company continues to pursue exploration opportunities and invest in environmental and safety initiatives, maintaining a commitment to community engagement and responsible resource stewardship across its diverse portfolio.
