## CSI Crushing 

Crushing target volumes and customer production targets were achieved for FY2014. 

Value adding via volume enhancement to CSI’s existing blue chip clients has been the key focus for the period. This strategy has produced targeted sustainable results in both crushed volume and contract retention. 

During FY2014, CSI sold its Christmas Creek plants to FMG. These plants represent state of the art wet iron ore processing technology previously not seen in the industry. CSI constructed the two plants under contract with FMG between 2009 and 2014, providing it with the opportunity to design and construct the technology that will drive the iron ore processing industry into the future as the majority of all new iron ore developments are expected to source their material from below the water table. The successful completion and commissioning of these plants was instrumental in CSI’s new generation of plant being incorporated in the Nammuldi Below Water Table development. 

CSI is the premier provider of contract crushing and mineral processing services in the world. It currently processes, for both external customers and its own projects approximately 8% of Western Australia’s iron ore production. With innovative applications of the technology, CSI has been able to expand its core competence and therefore increase its offering into areas previously not thought possible. Key to the success is CSI’s in- house model of design, construct and operate which provides customers with capital light, quickly implemented solutions that have them in operation faster than would otherwise be possible, allowing customers to benefit from its output sooner, thus improving the project’s value. 

## Construction 

The CSI Construction team successfully executed multiple projects within the resources sector, which were conducted simultaneously across a diverse range of mining infrastructure assets. 

CSI Construction was awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of Jerriwah Village, a 414 man camp located on the client’s Nammuldi project. This facility was constructed in a modularized form enabling construction to be completed in a record 34 weeks, with rooms made progressively available from August 2013 to January 2014. 

In addition, the EPC contract for construction of the Nammuldi Below Water Table Project, comprising a 25 million tonne per annum iron ore processing facility, commenced the onsite construction phase and is on schedule to be completed in the second half of FY2015. 

While the construction of client’s assets was a major focus throughout the period, CSI also commenced the construction of the Iron Valley facility. This project is now completed, being handed over to the operations team ready to commence mining operations in line with the planned schedule. 

In addition, CSI delivered a 67 man accommodation village located on the Poondano tenement, together with a major 70km road sealing upgrade of the publicly gazetted Roy Hill Road, situated in the East Pilbara.
