In what it says is a significant win, MMS has secured a A$200 million ($130 million) load and haul contract with gold producer Silver Lake Resources, in Western Australia.
The contract marks a significant milestone for both parties, signalling the next stage of expansion in the Silverlake Mount Monger operation, southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, MMS says.
The 49-month contract is scheduled to commence on April 1, 2024, with MMS operating alongside Silver Lake Resources and Dynamic Drill and Blast in the Santa open pit and Flora Dora deposit.
MMS has already commenced mobilising its fleet onto the site, with early works and site establishment in progress, it says. The fleet consists of new and low-hour heavy machinery, including 120-200-t excavators and 100-t dump trucks. As the operation progresses, it will peak at a workforce of 106 employees and 48 heavy machines operating on site.
