Macmahon 已获得 AngloGold Ashanti Australia 价值 3.52 亿澳元（合 2.3164 亿美元）的三年延期合同，继续在西澳大利亚 Boston Shaker 地下金矿提供采矿服务。

合同延期至 2027 年 5 月 1 日。这家总部位于澳大利亚的采矿服务提供商表示，在延期期间将产生 1.17 亿澳元（7700 万美元）的收入。

Boston Shaker 矿位于卡尔古利东北 330 公里处，是 Tropicana 金矿作业的一部分。

Tropicana 是 AngloGold Ashanti 和 Regis Resources 之间的合资企业 (JV)，分别拥有 70% 和 30% 的权益。据说它是澳大利亚最大的生产金矿之一。

Boston Shaker 金矿于 2022 年初实现了每年 140 万吨矿石的稳定产量。

一旦该项目的通风限制得到解决，每月地下矿石产量将从 165,000 吨提高到 175,000 吨。

自 2019 年以来，Macmahon 一直负责 Boston Shaker 金矿项目的地下采矿服务。采矿服务承包商将继续提供包括矿山开发、电缆锚杆支护、生产钻探和矿石回采等服务。

此外，该公司打算在延期期间主要使用现有机队。

Macmahon 首席执行官兼董事总经理 Michael Finnegan 表示：“我们很高兴获得 Boston Shaker 的延期，我们一直致力于与客户建立良好的关系，专注于驾驶安全和绩效成果。

“延长合同是在未来两到三年内将地下投资组合增长 50% 的关键一步。

“由于该项目已经部署了资本，并且不需要新的增长资本，我们预计延期将提高我们的 ROACE 绩效——我们最近将目标从 15% 提高到 20%。”

Macmahon has been awarded a three-year contract extension worth A$352m ($231.64m) from AngloGold Ashanti Australia to continue mining services at the Boston Shaker underground gold mine in Western Australia.

The contract extension runs through to 1 May 2027. According to the Australia-based mining services provider, it will generate A$117m ($77m) in revenue over the extension period.

Located 330km northeast of Kalgoorlie, the Boston Shaker mine is part of the Tropicana gold operation.

Tropicana is a joint venture (JV) between AngloGold Ashanti and Regis Resources with 70% and 30% interests, respectively. It is said to be one of Australia’s largest producing gold mines.

The Boston Shaker gold mine achieved steady state production of 1.4 million tonnes of ore per year in early 2022.

Once ventilation constraints are resolved at the project, the monthly underground ore production rates will be raised to 175,000 tonnes from 165,000 tonnes.

Macmahon has been responsible for underground mining services at the Boston Shaker gold project since 2019. The mining services contractor will continue to offer services including mine development, cable bolting, production drilling, and ore stoping.

Besides, the company intends to mostly use existing fleet for the period of the extension.

Macmahon CEO and managing director Michael Finnegan said: “We are delighted to have been awarded an extension at Boston Shaker where we have worked to build an excellent relationship with our client, focussed on driving safety and performance outcomes.

“The contract extension award is a critical step toward growing the underground portfolio by 50% over the next two to three years.

“With capital already deployed in the project and no new growth capital required, we expect the extension to enhance our ROACE performance – where we recently increased our target from 15% to 20%.”
