PROJECT:

Wonmunna Iron Ore - Primary Crusher Install

CLIENT:

Mineral Resources

ABOUT

Mineral Resources set out to do something the industry hadn't: assemble a primary crusher offsite and install it whole. The approach cut a job that would normally take twelve months down to a fraction of that. From breaking ground to first ore in five. We were on site to capture it.

APPROACH

We were originally booked for a single shoot. Once we got on site and understood how significant the crusher install was — an industry-first approach compressing a year's work into months — we flagged it with the comms team, and a one-day job became a project dedicated to capturing the whole thing. We filmed the install as it happened, from offsite assembly through to the crusher in place and running, with the focus on the innovation and the safety that made the timeline possible.

IMPACT

The film gave MinRes a record of a genuine industry milestone. Proof of an approach that compressed a twelve-month install into five months without trading off safety. The direct feedback was that a video highlight, embedded into board and investor updates, was understood immediately in a way a written report couldn't match. The innovation, the pace, and the capability behind Wonmunna landing at a glance.
