Iluka Resources is a global critical minerals company, with a proud 70 year history, entering a pivotal time of growth.
With a bright future ahead, we are seeking team members for our exciting Balranald operation where we will be deploying a new mining technology. Using remotely operated , novel underground mining (UGM) systems to extract key critical minerals.
At Balranald, the processing plant features essential processes, including screening, de-sliming, thickening, spirals, flotation, magnetic separation, and upgrades to optimise mineral recovery. The plant also includes a pond dredging system for fine tails reinjection. Additional activities include managing reagents and handling Rougher Head Feed reclaim. Our onsite laboratory is equipped with advanced testing equipment, including XRF, LST, a float bench, and particle sizers, ensuring quality control and reliable data for plant operations.
Iluka’s Balranald operation is located in the Riverina district of southwestern New South Wales. The development is focused on the rutile and zircon rich West Balranald deposit, which also contains material quantities of rare earth minerals.
Owing to its relative depth (approximately 60 metres below surface), Iluka has over several years assessed the potential to develop West Balranald via a novel, remotely operated , underground mining (UGM) technology.
Iluka’s UGM technology is akin to keyhole surgery for the mining of critical minerals. This enables access to ore bodies previously thought uneconomic, with marked reductions in both environmental disturbance and carbon intensity relative to traditional mineral sands extraction techniques, which are themselves less impactful than other commodities.
You can choose to reside locally, drive-in drive-out from towns within the regional area, or fly-in fly-out from Melbourne. For South Australian residents we will mobilise you via road transport from our Iluka office in Adelaide.
