Suburb of Pastoral Unincorporated Area, South Australia
Iron Baron was a settlement associated with the Iron Baron iron ore mine[7] 32°59′48 ″S 137°09′30 ″E / 32.99666667°S 137.15833333°E / -32.99666667; 137.15833333 Eyre Peninsula at the southern edge of South Australia 's Far North region , 413 kilometres (257 miles) north-west of Adelaide .[8]
The settlement was situated about 200 metres from the eastern boundary of the mine. BHP owned and serviced the settlement, having built it about 1938. There were several dozen houses, a one-teacher primary school, a general store, oval, swimming pool, netball courts, picnic areas and licensed community club.[9] [10]
Before the mine’s re-opening in 2011, BHP bulldozed all the settlement's surface infrastructure, including buildings, into a pit at the mine. Employees now commute from Whyalla or elsewhere.
Operation of the nearby mine [ edit ]
The Iron Baron mine is one of several large orebodies in the Middleback Range , with a production capacity of about two million tonnes of haematite a year.[11] [12] beneficiation plant.
