The Murrin Murrin Mine is a major nickel-cobalt mining operation being conducted in the North Eastern Goldfields, approximately 45 km east of Leonora, Western Australia. The project was initiated as a 60/40 joint venture between Murrin Murrin Holdings, a subsidiary of Anaconda Nickel and Glenmurrin, a subsidiary of Glencore.[2] In 2003 Anaconda changed its name to Minara Resources. In November 2011, Minara Resources was acquired by Glencore.[3] The mine opened in 1999.[4]

Geology

Murrin Murrin mines a laterite nickel ore formed by deep weathering of a peridotiteultramafic rock.

Problems with the process plant

Significant problems and delays were encountered in the design, construction and commissioning of the ore process plant at Murrin Murrin.[5]

The designers, Fluor Daniel eventually had to pay the joint venture partners $155 million in an out-of-court settlement. It was the second successful claim against Fluor, Murrin Murrin owners having been awarded $147 million from the first phase of their claim against Fluor, a sum which ultimately was reduced to $39.8 million. The Murrin Murrin project's original cost estimate of $1 billion had $1.6 billion.[6] In December 1998, Anaconda Nickel terminated Henry Walker as mining contractor.[7][8]
