FMR Investments

What FMR Investments does

FMR Investments is a privately held Western Australian mining company founded in 1989, headquartered in South Perth. The company operates the Gordon Sirdar underground gold mine in the WA Goldfields, producing approximately 50,000 tonnes of ore per month from depths exceeding 700 metres. FMR owns and operates the Greenfields Mill, a 1.2Mtpa gold processing facility equipped with CIP/CIL (carbon-in-pulp / carbon-in-leach) circuits, low-sulphate processing water capability, and high-gravity gold recovery technology.

The company's business model operates across three revenue streams: owner-operator gold mining at Gordon Sirdar, toll processing of third-party ore at Greenfields Mill, and joint venture mining partnerships with resource owners in the Goldfields region. FMR serves resource owners and exploration companies seeking processing capacity, as well as JV partners requiring underground mining expertise. The vertically integrated model — from extraction through processing — allows FMR to capture margin across the value chain while providing toll processing as a service to external miners.

No public revenue disclosures, funding rounds, or material strategic transactions are reported. The company has maintained continuous operations for over 35 years, transitioning from open-pit mining (1999) to underground operations (2012) and currently undertaking diamond drilling to extend mine life. The Goldfields location positions FMR as a regional processing hub for the surrounding mining district.
