Owned by BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), the scope of work at the mine includes:
- Overburden removal and haulage;
- Equipment maintenance; and
- Drilling services.
The contract consolidates two existing contracts and does not have any material impact on existing operations of Downer at Blackwater.
Grant Fenn, CEO of Downer, said that the company was very pleased to be extending its relationship with BMA at Blackwater. He commented: “Downer has been working closely with BMA at a number of mine sites for many years and we look forward to continuing to provide safe and productive services at the Blackwater coal mine.”
Downer provides mining services across Australia and its extensive Queensland operations include the Blackwater, Goonyella, Commodore and Meandu mines.
