MLG Oz wins five-year contract extension at Evolution’s Mungari gold operations

MLG Oz Limited says it has extended its relationship with Evolution Mining through the signing of a new contract with Evolution Mining (Mungari) Pty Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Evolution, for a further five years.

Since 2021, MLG has been providing its integrated mining services at Evolution’s Mungari gold operations to help unlock the project’s full potential. Under the new contract, MLG will continue to support Evolution in realising its growth and investment at Mungari.

MLG is expected to grow both its scope of works and its revenue with Evolution from circa A$25 million ($16 million) per year to A$32 million per year from the 2026 financial year onwards.

The new contract commences on July 1, 2025, at completion of MLG’s current contract term with Evolution.

The scope of work includes:

  • Loading and hauling ore from Evolution’s various site run of mine (ROM) sites to the Mungari ROM;
  • Managing the Mungari ROM and feeding ore into the processing plant;
  • Maintenance of ore haul roads;
  • Maintenance of ROM pads; and
  • Delivery of paste fill material management.

MLG Managing Director, Murray Leahy, said: “Evolution has become an important client for the company since 2021, as it continues to expand its mining services and resource asset management capabilities. We are very pleased to have further extended our relationship with Evolution and the Mungari team with the signing of a material, long-term contract. Evolution plans to significantly increase the scope of their operations at Mungari over the coming years.”

Evolution Mining’s General Manager, Mungari Operations, Scott Barber, said: “Evolution is delighted to be working with MLG as a key local partner as we capitalise on our regional resource base to assist with the Mungari 4.2 expansion. The project is tracking ahead of schedule and on budget. MLG’s contract services are an integral part in delivering the benefits of Mungari’s expansion, which is instrumental to unlocking the asset’s long-term future.”

Evolution has previously announced plans to boost plant throughput at the operation to 4.2 Mt/y, from 2 Mt/y, targeting gold production of 200,000 oz/y for the life of the mine.
