While on a remote mine site in the north of Western Australia recently, I was able to take
some photos while being shown around the site.
Here's some nickel ore, ready to be dumped into a crusher. The lighter pile in the foreground is low-grade ore, while the darker pile behind it is higher-grade ore.
