Pilbara mine jobsRIO TINTO MINING JOBS WA: Good news for mining jobs in iron ore as Monadelphous announced� a million dollar construction contract deal with Rio Tinto Iron Ore.

This contract ensures Rio Tinto stays well on target to increase the amount of iron ore that can be shipped from its Cape Lambert Port in Western Australia.

Monumental iron ore expansion plans for Rio Tinto in the Pilbara

Cape Lambert was originally structured for an output capacity of 55 million tonnes per annum, however with the expansion of the company’s project B (located adjacent to the originally facility), Rio Tinto is planning on doubling this figure, to align with its monumental iron ore expansion plans for the Pilbara.

The value of the contract is $235 million where Monadelphous would be providing WA mining jobs, specifically for all structural, mechanical and piping works installing:

  • a screenhouse
  • two car dumpers
  • associated conveyor and transfer station

According to Mondelphous Managing Director Rob Velletry, “This award builds on our long term relationship with Rio Tinto. We look forward to the delivery of another large scale project which continues our support for Rio Tinto in the expansion and maintenance of its Pilbara iron ore operations.”� The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014.

Monadelphous previously signed a $260 million deal

Monadelphous has already signed a $260 million deal with Rio Tinto earlier this year in February for constructing the miner`s Western Turner Brockman project in the Pilbara region.

Rio Tinto iron ore mining is currently on track to to ensure Cape Lambert port had “the largest export capacity of the three iron ore port assets owned by Rio Tinto.”�

Cape Lambert is just one of Pilbara’s exploding iron ore regions in Western Australia. Rio Tinto operates a world-class network of 14 iron ore mines, three port facilities, a 1,400 kilometre rail network and related infrastructure while currently employing more than 12,000 workers in Western Australia`s Pilbara region; with mining jobs WA consistently in demand.

With billions of dollars being injected into the iron ore expansion plan in the Pilbara and with�Rio Tinto as the second largest iron ore producer in the world, (with most of their production in Australia), mining jobs WA are continual.
