MLG Oz has announced a A$75m contract with Westgold Resources for bulk haulage services and the supply of goods and/or services across its southern operations in the Goldfields of Western Australia (WA).
The contract includes the provision of bulk ore haulage services to transport run of mine (ROM) ore from Westgold’s various mines to its Higginsville and/or Lakewood processing facilities.
Additionally, MLG will manage and maintain ore stockpiles on the ROM pads at Westgold’s mines and provide ongoing haul road maintenance.
The aggregate value of the contract could surpass A$25m in annual revenue for MLG, beginning with an initial three-year period from early March 2025.
This agreement enhances the partnership that MLG initiated with Westgold in the Murchison area three years ago.
The contract offers Westgold the chance to utilise MLG’s expansive Goldfields network as it expands and optimises its newly acquired Southern Goldfields operations.
Additionally, it bolsters MLG’s footprint in the Goldfields region and solidifies its standing as a premier provider of integrated mining services.
MLG managing director Murray Leahy said the new contract with Westgold represented another important milestone as MLG continues to broaden its provision of services and scale up operations across the Goldfields.
“We are very pleased to further our relationship with Westgold. The combination of this work into our portfolio builds on the businesses’ shared philosophy of unlocking value through a strategic focus on efficiency, safety and scale.
“Our continued relationship is an endorsement of our team’s capabilities, and we look forward to continuing to support Westgold,” Leahy said.
This contract award follows MLG’s recent contracts with Northern Star Resources, Evolution Mining and Norton Gold Fields.
Last month, MLG Oz clinched four contracts valued at $45m with Northern Star Resources.
These four agreements entail delivering haulage and site services across four sites in the Goldfields region of WA.
