Ferrowest was a company involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties in Australia. It primarily explored for gold, base metals, and haematite iron, as well as merchant pig iron. Towards the end of its time had also recently taken the decision to diversify its project focus to include certain key minerals in addition to its cornerstone projects, and as a result is actively building a portfolio of project opportunities with short and medium term ‘upside’ potential in gold and base metals to compliment its long term iron related ventures.
In December 2015, Ferrowest announced a planned restructure of the company to become a China-focused housing developer under a new name Living Cities Development.
