NRW Holdings Limited has been awarded a contract by Evolution Mining (Mungari) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolution Mining Limited, for surface mining at Castle Hill.

The project is in the heart of the Goldfields, 50 km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 40 km north of Coolgardie, ideally situated to allow NRW to engage with local businesses and further develop the local community partnerships established by the Mungari Operations, it said.

The works to be performed include load and haul, drill and blast and construction of site supporting facilities. The drill and blast component will be undertaken by Action Drill & Blast Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of NRW Holdings Limited.

In Evolution’s 2023 reserve statement, the company highlighted that it had probable open-pit reserves of 33.2 Mt at 1.05 g/t Au, for 1.12 Moz of gold.

The anticipated value of the contract is circa A$360 million ($242 million) commencing November 2024 and expected to be completed by mid-2030. The project will average 150 personnel.

NRW Chief Executive Officer, Jules Pemberton, said: “I am delighted to announce that NRW has been awarded this contract with Evolution Mining. NRW has a long history as a high quality provider of mining services to our clients and I look forward to a successful partnership with Evolution.”
