ASX-listed MLG Oz hopes an initial A$20 million one-year haulage contract with Rio Tinto will be the start of a “potentially long-term relationship” with the mining major.
The contract covers offroad bulk haulage and site services in support of operations at the Western Turner Syncline mine in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
MLG Oz said it was providing material loading, rock breaking, unloading, stockpile management and road maintenance services.
“Rio has been actively reviewing MLG’s approach and performance standards to assess our broader capability to deliver services in the Pilbara region,” MLG Oz managing director Murray Leahy said. “In particular, they have been focused on the efficiencies that can be gained through MLG’s hub and spoke delivery model.”
