Mount Bruce is a peak near the Hamersley Ranges in Western Australia. Mount Bruce rises to 4,026 feet (1,227 meters) above sea level. It is within the rich iron ore deposits area of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 1968, a company was formed to develop the mineral deposits in the Mount Bruce area. The Australian explorer Francis T. Gregory discovered the mountain in 1861 and named it in honor of Lieutenant Colonel John Bruce, who was then commandant of troops in Western Australia.
