The Pilbara - Goldsworthy Mine

Goldsworthy Mine operated between the years 1965 to 1982 and was the first Iron Ore Mine in the Pilbara.

My dad (died in 2022) worked there in around 1973 - before returning to the UK to raise a family. I explored it myself recently.

I knew the grader driver killed as he was my best friend . Dick Warburton, gone but never forgotten resting in peace in Port Heland.

Macro Metals has found a huge hematite 'anomaly' called Goldsworthy East, not far from the old BHP pit, and they plan to develop it soon into a mine. They are estimating it could be up to 450 million tonnes of iron ore.

Worked there in 76-77 for 15 months, #strangetimes

You might get another chance at it too - Macro Metals is going to develop Goldsworthy East into a mine but this one will be much much bigger. They have discovered a massive hematite 'anomaly'.

My great uncle worked at this mine. He died there in 1968 in a accident when his grader overturned on a bend at a 300ft level. He was just 25 years old, younger than I am now.
