Jellinbah Resources has awarded Thiess a $550 million contract expansion at the Lake Vermont Coal
Mine, near Dysart in Central Queensland's resource-rich Bowen Basin.
Thiess' mining engineering, operations and plant expertise will be applied to increase production from 6 million tonnes to 8 million tonnes of coal per annum, increasing the annual capacity of the mine over
the remaining 5 years of the current contract.
Jellinbah Resources Chief Executive Officer, Greg Chalmers said the mine owners were pleased to be able to extend the capacity of the mine through a flexible partnership with Thiess, which they see as essential to the mine's sustainable future in a very competitive metallurgical coal market.
"The additional production at Lake Vermont Coal Mine will ensure we maintain a profitable future for
the mine. By working closely with Thiess' we believe we can deliver the efficiencies required to ensure the mine remains competitive on a global scale and provide a small boost to the economy at a local, state and national level," Mr Greg Chalmers said.
Thiess' Managing Director Bruce Munro paid tribute to Jellinbah Resources and the goals the two companies have set to achieve.
"We continue to work with our client Jellinbah Resources to reduce costs and safely improve productivities across every aspect of the mining operations, from plant and equipment to local sourcing and empowering our people."
"By focusing on efficiencies and productivity we can deliver sustainable production in the long term for our clients and reposition the Bowen Basin as a globally competitive producer" Mr Munro said.
Leighton Holdings Chief Executive Officer Hamish Tyrwhitt said the Lake Vermont story highlights the
Leighton Group's capability.
"Such a successful partnership sends a very positive signal to the market and demonstrates the value the Leighton Group delivers for our clients," Mr Tyrwhitt said.
