Contract miner MMS acquires East Sampson gold project

Mineral Mining Services (MMS) has announced a significant expansion of its gold mining operations with the acquisition of the East Sampson gold project, in Western Australia, from Moho Resources.

This strategic move strengthens MMS’ position in the gold sector and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering exceptional results for its stakeholders, the company says.

“This is a major step forward for MMS,” new MMS CEO, Rob Ryan, says. “East Sampson aligns perfectly with our focus on high-potential open-cut gold projects with near term production potential. We’re bringing our proven expertise and track record of success to unlock the full value of this asset.”

The East Sampson gold project boasts a high-grade JORC mineral resource of 264,000 t at 2.5g/t for 21,000 oz with substantial exploration upside. “MMS is confident in our ability to optimise production and maximise returns, leveraging our operational excellence and technical capabilities,” the company says.

This acquisition comes on the heels of MMS’ recent successes at the Kal East gold project, where the company consistently exceeded expectations in terms of production and efficiency. In September, just two months after breaking ground, MMS, in partnership with Black Cat Syndicate, celebrated the first gold pour from the Myhree pit at the Kal East project.

MMS brings in Cat wheel loaders for Higginsville ROM assignment

Mineral Mining Services (MMS) says it has been awarded a two-year contract for the run of mine (ROM) management and mine site services at Karora Resources Higginsville gold mine site, in Western Australia.

The ROM management fleet will consist of brand-new Caterpillar 982M next gen loader as the primary loader supported by two near-new 980M next gen loaders, MMS says.

The site services will consist of an auxiliary fleet of three articulated haul trucks, a grader, a rock breaker and an articulated water truck that will handle all ore rehandle requirements and road maintenance around site.

MMS says it has successfully mobilised all machines to site and completed the first month of production and commissioning of the Cat 982M with the assistance of WesTrac.

Higginsville produced 15,144 oz of gold in the June quarter, up from 11,484 oz in the same period a year ago, Karora Resources stated in its June quarter results.
