BUMA Australia has secured a two-year contract extension from the BHP and Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) to continue delivering mining services at Goonyella in Central Queensland.
BUMA Australia has extended its operations at Goonyella via a contract, which will last till September 2027.
Under the agreement, BUMA Australia will continue deploying three prime fleets throughout the contract period.
“This contract extension highlights our longstanding relationship with BMA and the deep trust we have built together with its joint venture partners,” BUMA Australia chief executive Johan Ballot said.
“It marks another important milestone in our growth journey and reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality outcomes, further solidifying our reputation as a trusted mining services provider in Australia,”
BUMA Australia has provided labour, supervision, technical expertise, and mobile plant services for pre-strip operations and coal mining at the Goonyella Riverside Mine since 2022.
Additionally to its operational role, the company remains committed to the Isaac region, creating local employment opportunities and supporting key community initiatives.
“We remain focused on supporting BMA’s operations while continuing to contribute to the economic development of the local community,” Ballot said.
The Goonyella Extension builds on BUMA Australia’s strong track record and growing presence in the Australian mining sector.
In 2024, BUMA Australia secured key contracts, including one awarded by Blackwater Operations for pre-strip mining services at the Blackwater Mine, and an $400 million extension with TEC Coal for continued operations at the Meandu Mine.
“BUMA Australia’s continued success in the Australian mining sector underscores our Group’s operational excellence and strong commitment to our core mining services business in Indonesia and Australia – two of the world’s leading coal jurisdictions,” BUMA International Group director Iwan Fuad Salim said.
“This contract extension with BMA reflects our capabilities and performance as a top-tier mining operator in both countries. We look forward to sustaining this momentum and pursuing further opportunities for growth.”
