BUMA Australia is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a new mining services contract with BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi Alliance (“BMA”) to provide pre-strip and coal mining services at the Saraji Mine in Central Queensland. The contract is valued at ~$60 million and will see BUMA Australia providing mining services until December 2024. BUMA Australia will mine a new pit to be opened at Saraji Mine by BMA and average annual production is expected to be approximately 7 mbcm p.a.

Our team’s dedication and expertise in the mining industry has solidified our relationships with existing customers and enabled us to explore new opportunities. This new contract is a testament to Delta Dunia’s commitment to further diversifying our portfolio and expanding our metallurgical coal mining activities, and we are proud to cement our position as a leader in the industry. We look forward to continuing to drive growth for our business.”

This new contract reinforces BUMA Australia’s strong foothold in the Bowen Basin, where it now provides pre-strip and coal mining services at three BMA mines in Queensland: Blackwater, Goonyella Riverside, and Saraji. In addition, BUMA Australia provides coal mining services at Bowen Coking Coal’s Broadmeadow East and Burton Mines.

This extension underlines our customers’ continued confidence in our professionalism and significant contribution to their business growth. It also reflects BUMA Australia’s professional teams’ extensive track record of safe, efficient, and consistent delivery of mining services for BMA coal mine projects.”
