This case study centres on Mineral Resources Limited’s (MRL) strategic approach to mitigating the high wear rates and associated replacement costs of Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) at an iron ore mine in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The challenging conditions in this large-scale mine significantly degraded these tools, compelling MRL to scout for cost-efficient alternatives without compromising on quality and performance. As a solution, MRL initiated a trial with Mining Wear Parts (MWP) intending to appraise the efficacy of their hard-facing grader blades, potentially bringing about substantial cost savings, enhanced supply chain control, and reduced third-party dependencies. Furthermore, this collaboration unveiled prospects of creating custom solutions specific to MRL’s project needs, unavailable with existing suppliers.
