The Yandi mine is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 90 kilometres north-west of Newman. It should not be confused with Rio Tinto's nearby Yandicoogina mine, which is also sometimes shortened to Yandi.
The mine is owned by BHP (85%), Itochu (8%) and Mitsui Iron (7%).[1] In 2021, the mine commenced its end-of-life winding down with the South Flank mine scheduled to replace it.[2] However with demand from Asian steel mills for its iron ore with low levels of impurities, it was granted an extension, albeit with a reduced output.[3]
