PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Project house Downer EDI has been awarded five contracts worth a combined A$250-million in the resources sector.

The company’s blasting services division has been awarded three contracts for the supply, manufacture and delivery of explosives and down hole blasting services, including at the Boddington gold mine, the Karara iron-ore mine, and the Savage River magnetite mine.

Downer has also been awarded an underground mining contract at Newmarket Gold’s Forestville Gold, which includes providing ground support services and related mining services.

Downer currently provides mining services at Newmarket Gold’s Cosmo mine.

Downer CEO Grant Fenn said on Thursday that the new contract wins, with both new and existing customers, highlighted Downer’s broad capabilities in mining services.

“These new and extended contracts are a clear endorsement of Downer’s broad value proposition for mining service customers which includes enhancing safety, increasing productivity and engaging the local community.”
