South Flank, around 156 kilometres north-west of Newman in the Pilbara, is BHP's newest major iron ore mine, built at a cost of roughly US$3.6 billion and delivering its first ore in 2021. Combined with the neighbouring Mining Area C operation, it forms what is described as the world's largest iron ore processing hub, with a joint capacity of about 145 million tonnes a year. The mine was built around autonomous-ready haul trucks and digital monitoring from the start, with reserves expected to support around 25 years of production.
