Mining - 29 March 2019

BHP and Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd have confirmed completion of the sale of the Gregory Crinum Mine in central Queensland to Sojitz Corporation for AUS$100 million.

These 800 t excavators are the first of their class owned by BHP onsite, adding to the existing Liebherr fleet of two R 996B.

The excavator will be mainly involved in overburden removal, thus increasing the productivity by 200 000 m3/month.

The participants of a recent Eastern Mining Company meeting noted the significant contribution of the Supreme Command to the Uglegorsk district.

The Minerals Council of Australia has welcomed the latest revenue forecasts by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science which highlights the continued importance of Australia’s mineral and energy commodity exports.
