CIMIC Group’s global mining services provider, Thiess, has secured a A$190 million ($149 million) contract extension from Anglo American to continue to provide mining services at Dawson South in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, Australia.
The 36-month extension will see Thiess continue delivering coal mining, overburden removal and run of mine rehandling services.
Thiess has a long history operating at the Dawson Mine, being part of the original joint venture of Thiess Peabody Mitsui Coal established in 1962 to own and operate what was then known as Moura Mine. More recently, a joint venture of Thiess and fellow CIMIC Group company Sedgman designed, built and commissioned the coal handling preparation plant at Dawson in 2008.
CIMIC Group Limited is an infrastructure, mining, services and public private partnerships group with businesses in construction (CPB Contractors and Leighton Asia), mining and mineral processing (Thiess and Sedgman), operation and maintenance services (UGL), public private partnerships (Pacific Partnerships), and engineering (EIC Activities).
