The close working relationship between mining billionaires Gina Rinehart and Chris Ellison has again been highlighted after Roy Hill extended a contract with the crushing division of Mineral Resources at its namesake Pilbara mine.

 

The “multi-year” contract extension comes hot on the heels of the two companies striking a deal to jointly develop port facilities at Port Hedland as each looks to expand iron ore exports.

 

The new contract between Roy Hill and MinRes CSI Mining Services extends a crushing contract between the two parties that has been in place since 2017.

 

However, the new arrangement will have CSI deliver an expanded scope of work that includes crushing, screening and haulage services.

 

MinRes said CSI was uniquely positioned as a key service provider to Roy Hill, given its strong track record of exceeding performance targets and detailed understanding of the mine and its operational processes and procedures.

 

“In delivering the new contract, CSI will deploy an innovative new screening solution to deliver industry-leading efficiencies,” the company said.
