Expressions of Interest Sought for the Acquisition of an Established Iron Ore Operation in the Northern Territory

Roper Bar Iron Ore Project – NRR Mining Pty Ltd (Administrators Appointed) ACN 619 218 665

NRR Mining represents an opportunity for strategic investors, mining companies and resource-focused funds to recapitalise and/or acquire an established Northern Territory direct-shipping-ore (DSO) iron ore operation, with an established tenement package, site and loadout infrastructure.

Shaun Boyle, Clint Joseph and Giovanni Carrello (“the Administrators“) were appointed as joint and several voluntary administrators of NRR Mining Pty Ltd (Administrators Appointed) (“NRR Mining“) on 26 May 2026.

The Administrators are seeking expressions of interest for the recapitalisation and restructure of NRR Mining, the acquisition of its assets, or any combination of these, and invite interested parties to put forward the structure that best suits their requirements.

The project was operating, albeit with a number of financial constraints, prior to the Administrators’ appointment, and moved to care and maintenance on 15 August 2026. Mining and processing equipment at the site was historically owned by NRR Mining, a related entity, or held on hire from a third party.

The Opportunity:

NRR Mining’s assets are located in the Northern Territory and comprise:

  • An iron ore mining project situated south of the Gulf of Carpentaria, with an estimated Mineral Resource of 279 Mt, including a 33 Mt Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) Resource at +58% Fe with very low phosphorus (~0.01% P); and
  • A direct mine-to-coast logistics chain, comprising a 171km private haul road access authority and a mineral lease over the loading facility and stockyard at Bing Bong, together with an offshore access authority covering the shipping channel and swing basin.

Key Investment Highlights:

  • Established operating environment — open-pit mining, crushing and ore sorting conducted at Danehill and Zabeel prior to care and maintenance.
  • Direct mine-to-coast tenure — NRR Mining holds a 171km private haul road access authority, a mineral lease over its loading facility and stockyard at Bing Bong, and an offshore access authority covering the shipping channel and swing basin.
  • High-grade, low-phosphorus product — DSO Resource at +58% Fe with a high lump proportion, low alumina (~2%) and very low phosphorus (~0.01% P).
  • Established iron field — regional iron ore exploration dates to the late 1950s; the Project’s own deposits were identified in 2008, drilled from 2009 across multiple defined deposit areas, and in production from 2013.
  • Flexible transaction structure — the tenement package, haul road access authority and Bing Bong coastal titles are all held within NRR Mining, and the Administrators will consider proposals at either entity or asset level.
  • Secured licence tenure – Deemed Mining Licence DML1062-01 provides for staged development, authorised through to 30 June 2028.

Next Steps:

A non-disclosure agreement must be executed before the confidential Information Memorandum and data room are provided.
