The new contract is for the supply, delivery, and application of fibrecrete and cement fill (CRF) at MMG’s Rosebery Mine for an initial three year fixed term plus two one year extension options.
Rosebery, located 125km south of Burnie, is a polymetallic mine, producing zinc, copper, and lead concentrates, which has been operating for over 85 years.
Set to commence in April 2023, the new contract will create 25 employment opportunities across a range of roles. A new fleet of equipment will also be deployed to the project, including two Jacon spray rigs, a permanent batch plant and three new Elphinstone Cat WR820 10m³ agitators following the successful introduction of one of these larger capacity machines at PYBAR’s Eloise project in Queensland.
The contract was awarded after a competitive tender process, securing the work based on our understanding of the requirements, a well-conceived plan including a new fleet of equipment, the right level of manning and fit for purpose batch plant to de-risk delivery of CRF and fibrecrete to the mine.
This award forms part of our ongoing growth strategy and will see PYBAR return to Tasmania working with a tier 1 client.
