MACA receives contract extension from Regis Resources at Duketon North

MACA has announced the extension of its mining services contract with Regis Resources Ltd at the Duketon North Operations (DNO) in Western Australia, having provided mining services at the project since 2010.

The service offering includes a dedicated workforce of 258 personnel delivering drill & blast, load & haul, plant maintenance and technical services across the Regis open pits in the area.

This extension is expected to generate up to A$50 million ($36 million) per year in revenue for MACA and will utilise the contract miner’s existing fleet on site. DNO continues to run alongside the Duketon South Operations (DSO).

Both parties have signalled their intention to explore conversion of both the DSO and DNO contracts into an amalgamated partnership-style life of mine alliance arrangement post June 2023, MACA said. The asset produced 356,000 oz of gold in the 2021 financial year.

MACA’s work in hand position including this contract is in excess of A$2.6 billion at April 2022.

MACA CEO, Mike Sutton, said: “MACA is delighted to continue its long-standing relationship with Regis at the Duketon North Operation. Our team has a long-standing relationship with Regis and MACA is proud to be an ongoing part of this operation. This project will be undertaken utilising existing fleet and contributes to MACA’s secured mining work in hand in the Goldfields region, ensuring future work continues to consist of a balanced portfolio of commodities.”
