Ausdrill has completed renegotiations to extend its existing contract until the end of the Prominent Hill mine’s open pit life in 2018.
Ausdrill has been operating at the site for the six years, providing production and grade control services at the copper gold mine.
Regarding the renegotiation, OZ Minerals’ managing director Terry Burgess said “we are very happy with the productivity levels and effective cost control that Ausdrill is delivering to OZ Minerals at Prominent Hill”.
Ausdrill’s managing director Ron Sayers added “it is very gratifying to secure a life of mine contract extension with one of our major long term clients such as OZ Minerals”.
