Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Christmas Creek mine is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 61 kilometres south-south-west of Nullagine, in the Chichester Range. The mine is fully owned and operated by the Fortescue Metals Group, FMG, and is one of two iron ore mines the company operates in the Pilbara, the other being the Cloud Break mine, located 50 kilometres west of Christmas Creek. Fortescue is the third-largest iron ore mining company in the Pilbara, behind Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. Fortescue acquired the Cloud Break and Christmas Creek tenements during 2003. The company began constructing port facilities at Port Hedland in February 2006, followed by a A$3.2 billion capital raising in August 2006 to finance its projects. Construction on the Cloud Break mine began in October 2006[5] and Fortescue began mining at Cloud Break in October 2007. Iron ore production at the mine began in 2008 and, in its first full year of operation, the mine produced 28 million tonnes of iron ore.
