WA mining company NRW Holdings has just won a $110 million contract for Altura Mining`s Pilgangoora lithium project in the Pilbara.�
Still subject to Altura securing funding and making a final investment decision, NRW Holdings�will be in charge of�building mine infrastructure, developing haulage roads, brill and blast services &�loading and haulage of ore and overburden.�
Using�existing mining assets, there is expected to be up to 60 WA mining jobs created for on site employment, with NRW pledging to sit down�with the local Njamal indigenous communities to offer employment and sub-contract participation opportunities.�
With the project expecting�to be mobilised�in March and continue for five years, this mine offers a great opportunity for�all employees.
NRW chief executive Jules Pemberton commented on this contract win, saying the company is excited to begin work on Altura`s new lithium mine.
“We have gained significant knowledge and capability over the years in the now rapidly expanding lithium sector through our subsidiary, Action Drill & Blast which has been performing the drill and blast services contract in Greenbushes for Talison Lithium since 2011.”��
“We look forward to working closely with the Altura team and are ready to commence as soon as the final investment decision is made.”�
Action Drill & Blast secures major WA mining contract
In addition to NRW Holding’s major contact win, another WA mining company, Action Drill & Blast, has secured a two-year contact extension at�Talison`s Greenbushes lithium mine worth A$12 million. They also won a �$40 million, 66-month contract to provide drill and blast services to Macmahon Holdings at Newcrest`s Telfer gold mine.
These developments will likely add more jobs to the WA mining job market.
