CSI Mining Services (CSI) has signed its very first joint venture partnership with Western Australian-based contracting company, PMW Industries (PMWI).
PMWI is a Traditional Owner Banjima business, with more than a decade’s experience delivering rail and civil services. Banjima Country is in the central Pilbara region of Western Australia and covers more than one million hectares of land.
CSI and PMWI have an established subcontracting relationship, delivering crushing, screening and rehabilitation services to Tier One mining companies. The new joint venture partnership is aimed at strengthening the existing relationship, with a focus on establishing a mining services contract portfolio.
The joint venture partnership ownership comprises PMWI at 51 per cent and CSI 49 per cent.
CSI’s Chief Executive, Mike Grey, said it was fantastic to continue to build on the business’ strong working partnership with PMWI.
“CSI and PMWI have been working together since 2022, including establishing an accredited Indigenous trainee program for crushing and equipment operators.
“We already have some great wins on the board, including upskilling 27 Indigenous trainees and achieving record tonnes crushed for a mining client.
“CSI is committed to building strong relationships with Traditional Owners and local Indigenous groups to advance economic outcomes and is thrilled to team up with a Pilbara-based Indigenous company.”
PMWI’s Managing Director and Banjima Traditional Owner, Paula White, said that the partnership would further empower and grow the business.
“We currently have more than 50 employees across Western Australia, with 55 per cent Indigenous – this is a great opportunity to grow our business and expand our capabilities.”
