Channar iron ore mine is situated 17km south-east of Paraburdoo mine in the province of Pilbara, a region in Western Australia. It is 60% owned by Rio Tinto Iron Ore and 40% by Chinese mining company Sinosteel. Rio Tinto Iron Ore operates the mine.

The joint venture agreement between Rio Tinto and Sinosteel was signed in November 1987, with strong support from Australian and Chinese governments. The companies aim to produce 200 million tons (mt) from the Channar mine during its lifetime. First ore was produced from the mine in January 1990. Full design capacity of ten million tons per annum (mtpa) was accomplished in 1998.
