Atlas Iron is an Australian mining company and an iron ore explorer, developer and producer, predominantly active in the Pilbara region. The company operates three iron ore mines in Western Australia.
Atlas was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on the 17 December 2004, under the name of Atlas Gold Limited. On 30 March 2006, the company changed its name to Atlas Iron Limited.
Atlas became Australia's newest iron ore producer when it commenced production at Pardoo in late 2008.
The company plans to lift production from its Pilbara operations to 12 million tonnes of iron ore by 2014. Of these, 10 million tonnes are scheduled to come from the new Turner River hub, which is to blend and process ore from the company's northern Pilbara projects, located at Wodgina, Abydos and Mt Webber.
In December 2010, Atlas Iron made a bid to buy Giralia Resources; it may be possible to merge Atlas' Mt Webber mine with Giralia's nearby Dalton mine.
