PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mining contractor Thiess has been awarded a $760-million contract to operate diversified miner Glencore’s Mt Owen coal mine, in New South Wales.

Thiess owner CIMIC Group said on Monday that the agreement extended Thiess’s 20-year involvement in the mine, during which time the contractor had built the mine infrastructure and assumed responsibility for mining operations.

"This contract enables Thiess to further build on two decades of continuous association with the Mt Owen operations and the mine owner Glencore,” said CIMIC executive chairperson and CEO Marcelino Fernandez Verdez.

Thiess was currently mining at a depth of 270 m, with production at Mt Owen reaching 7.6-million tonnes a year run-of-mine coal.
