The Yandi mine is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 90 kilometres north-west of Newman. It should not be confused with Rio Tinto's nearby Yandicoogina mine, which is also sometimes shortened to Yandi.
The mine is owned by BHP (85%), Itochu (8%) and Mitsui Iron (7%). In 2021, the mine commenced its end-of-life winding down with the South Flank mine scheduled to replace it. However with demand from Asian steel mills for its iron ore with low levels of impurities, it was granted an extension, albeit with a reduced output.
