Mineral Resources (MinRes) has landed a key crushing services contract for Atlas Iron’s McPhee Creek iron ore project in Western Australia.
The five-year contract has been awarded to MinRes’ mining services arm, CSI Mining Services, for works at McPhee Creek, which is situated in the northeast Pilbara region, 30km north of Nullagine.
CSI will supply and operate a 10 million tonne per year primary crushing plant, fed by Atlas Iron via dump trucks or front-end loaders, with product to be stockpiled for reclaim and haulage by Atlas Iron.
Chief Executive Mining Services Mike Grey said the contract adds to the strong pipeline of upcoming work for CSI.
“It’s fantastic to strengthen our partnership with Atlas Iron, with CSI also currently providing crushing services for their Sanjiv Ridge mining operations and crushing and haulage operations for Roy Hill,” he said.
“It’s an exciting period of growth for our business, with CSI recently awarded three new crushing contracts.
“The variety of projects we support ensures our people have opportunities to work on different mine sites with diverse clients, gaining experience across a range of crushing plants.”
CSI is scheduled to mobilise to the McPhee Creek site in late 2024 to commence construction activities ahead of crushing commencing in second quarter of 2025.
The company has worked with Roy Hill since 2017, where it has built an ongoing relationship providing mining services to its iron ore operation in WA.
