Earlier this year, Thiess received a mining expansion contract from PT Harum Energy at the Mahakam Sumber Jaya (MSJ) mine in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The contract scope expands the current mining operations, which include load and haul, drill and blast, haul road maintenance and rehabilitation.

At that time, Thiess said it plans to introduce its first autonomy programme at the MSJ mine as part of its sustainable mining practices to enhance safety and production efficiency.
