Letter of Intent for KOTH Mining Contract

Letter of Intent signed with Macmahon for the KOTH Mining Services Agreements. Appointment of KOTH Mine Manager.

Red 5 Limited (ASX: RED) is pleased to advise that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Macmahon Contractors Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of leading civil and mining contractor Macmahon Holdings (ASX: MAH), for the award of the mining contract for its 2.4Moz, 16-year life-of-mine King of the Hills (KOTH) Gold Project in Western Australia.

The Letter of Intent follows the completion of a thorough competitive tender process for the open pit and underground mine contracts and encompasses the combined mining operations at KOTH.

The KOTH Gold Mine includes 16 years of open pit mining and an initial underground mining operation. The proposed contract is for an initial 5-year period, with final contract documentation expected to be completed in the June 2021 Quarter and the contract to commence in the March 2022 Quarter.

In preparation for the start of mining operations, Red 5 has appointed Mr Andrew McRae as KOTH Mine Manager. Mr McRae is a Mining Engineer who has held a number of senior management roles over the past 10 years at Evolution Mining’s Cowal Gold Mine in New South Wales. His technical and project management skills and experience will be of great benefit to the planning, ramp-up and safe execution of operations at KOTH.

Red 5 Managing Director Mark Williams said both the Letter of Intent with Macmahon and the appointment of a Mine Manager for KOTH represented important steps towards the project delivery.

“Following a rigorous tender process, we are delighted that, subject to final agreed contract terms, Macmahon will be appointed as mining contractor for both the KOTH open pit and underground mines. We see a number of important operational efficiencies and cost benefits in having both mining operations managed by a single contractor.

“We are also very pleased to welcome Andrew McRae to the Red 5 team as the KOTH Mine Manager. Andrew brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from his time at the Cowal Gold Mine and he will play a key role in planning and preparations to ensure we remain on commencing activities at the KOTH Gold Mine in early 2022.”
