In what it says is another significant win, MMS has been awarded a second contract with Red 5 (formerly Silver Lake Resources), in Western Australia.

Over the 12-month contract, MMS will deliver load and haul services; deploying a 100-t fleet including a near-new Hitachi EX1200 excavator.

This contract solidifies the partnership between MMS and Red 5, which also includes a 49-month contract signed that commenced on April 1 to work on the Silverlake Mount Monger operation.

MMS says it has gotten off to a strong start – having already mobilised equipment to the site and successfully completed the first month of production. The extracted ore is already on its way to Red 5’s Randalls mill for processing.

MMS says its primary contract with Red 5 is currently progressing exceptionally well, and is on track to commence operations at the Flora Dora open pit by the end of the month.

MMS General Manager, Josh Conley, said: “Securing this second contract with Red 5 is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We’ve consistently delivered outstanding results on our existing contract, and this new project allows us to further showcase our expertise in providing efficient and reliable mining solutions.”
