PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Project house Cimic’s global mining contractor Thiess has been awarded a A$180-million contract extension to continue operations at the Melak coal mine, in Indonesia.

The company said that the contract extension by PT Sinar Abadi and PT Firman Ketaun Perkasa would allow Thiess to continue mining development and operations at the site through to December 2019.

Thiess MD Michael Wright said that the Melak contract extension was a testament to the company’s performance at the mine since 2008. 

“We are pleased to extend our partnership with the Bayan Group and continue our focus on delivering innovative and sustainable mining solutions for our client.”

The contract extension follows Thiess’s recent 14-month contract award for underground mining at diversified miner BHP Billiton’s Nickel West Leinster 1A orebody.

The Leinster 1A underground development and sub-level open stoping contract is focused 900 m underground and builds on the same innovative contracting model provided for the adjacent Rocky’s Reward opencut mine in Leinster, Western Australia.
