MACA has secured a 12-month mining services contract worth $70 million at the Roy Hill iron ore mine in Western Australia’s Pilbara, owned by Hancock Prospecting, Marubeni Corporation, POSCO and China Steel Corporation.
Under the contract scope MACA will provide open pit mining services including load and haul and drill and blast, using its existing fleet in the region.
Work is scheduled to start early next year.
The contract brings MACA’s work in hand to $3 billi
MACA CEO Mike Sutton said the company was pleased to be able to continue working with Roy Hill, having conducted civil works at the project earlier this year.
“Our team has a long-standing relationship with Roy Hill, starting with first mining at the Roy Hill project, and MACA is proud to be an ongoing part of this operation,” he said.
“This project will be undertaken utilising existing fleet, contributes to MACA’s secured mining work in hand for 2022-23 and further secures our strong position in the Pilbara region.”
