Macmahon Holdings Limited (ASX:MAH) (‘ Macmahon’ or ‘the Company’ ) is pleased to announce it has been selected by St Barbara Limited (ASX:SBM) (‘ St Barbara’ ) to provide all underground mining services to the Gwalia underground gold project in Western Australia from May 2021.
The Gwalia mine is one of Australia’s oldest underground gold mines, with St Barbara having operated this flagship asset for the past 15 years. The mine was originally established in 1897 by Herbert Hoover, who later became President of the United States.
The scope of work for Macmahon will involve a whole of mine service including mine development, ground support, production drilling and blasting, loading and trucking, shotcreting and paste fill reticulation.
The initial contract term will be for 5 years, with St Barbara having an option to extend for a further 3 year period. Macmahon estimates the contract will generate approximately $500 million in revenue over the initial 5 year term, which will require capital expenditure of circa $40 million over FY21 and FY22.
Macmahon and St Barbara are working to finalise the mining services agreement, with signing expected in March 2021. Macmahon will commence early works on site in April, before full mobilisation in May 2021.
Commenting on the selection, Macmahon’s MD and CEO Michael Finnegan said:
“We are delighted to be selected for the Gwalia operation by St Barbara, a well-established and respected gold producer. We will work very closely with our new client to ensure continuity of operations during the transition period. This new project will make an important contribution to our strategic objective to diversify and expand our underground business.”
