TNG has agreed to procure CAT mobile mining equipment for the project and award the supply contract to Hastings Deering (Australia), which is Caterpillar’s dealer in the Northern Territory.

It also agreed to procure CAT power equipment and award the supply contract to Energy Power Systems Australia, Caterpillar’s equipment dealer.

The MoU is expected to form part of the diversified project finance consortium being assembled to fund the Mount Peake Project once it is converted into a binding agreement.
