The company has three major projects being: Tallering Peak, Koolan Island and Extension Hill. For FY12, Annual ore sales were 5.2Mt with 6.9Mt of ore mined and crushed. The total mineral resources and reserves stood at 95.2Mt @ 61.6% Fe and 44.3Mt @ 62.6% Fe respectively.
Strategy Analysis: Mount Gibson seeks to maintain and grow long term profitability through discovery, development, participation and/or acquisition of mineral resources. The aim is to lift and sustain production beyond 10 million tonnes of iron ore a year and to extend life to beyond 15 years through exploration and development and/ore acquisition.

Revenues from ordinary activities were $416.2m, up 10.4% from the same period last year, reflecting lower realised iron ore prices, broader product mix, and early adoption of new waste accounting requirements.
