Murchison Metals has suspended operations at its Jack Hills iron ore mine due to heavy rain and regional flooding.

The project, owned and operated by Crosslands Resources, will be suspended for a minimum of 14 days.

The suspension of operations is expected to result in the deferral of a minimum of two export shipments currently scheduled to leave the port of Geraldton in March.
