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.”

In what it says is a significant win, MMS has secured a A$200 million ($130 million) load and haul contract with gold producer Silver Lake Resources, in Western Australia.

The contract marks a significant milestone for both parties, signalling the next stage of expansion in the Silverlake Mount Monger operation, southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, MMS says.

The 49-month contract is scheduled to commence on April 1, 2024, with MMS operating alongside Silver Lake Resources and Dynamic Drill and Blast in the Santa open pit and Flora Dora deposit.

MMS has already commenced mobilising its fleet onto the site, with early works and site establishment in progress, it says. The fleet consists of new and low-hour heavy machinery, including 120-200-t excavators and 100-t dump trucks. As the operation progresses, it will peak at a workforce of 106 employees and 48 heavy machines operating on site.
