Thiess secures 4-year extension at Caval Ridge

Thiess Group has been awarded a four-year contract extension with BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) for the Caval Ridge Operations in Queensland.

With a revenue of $580m, the contract sees Thiess continuing to provide mining services at the Caval Ridge mine, operating and maintaining mining equipment to move overburden to support BMA’s production requirements.

Thiess executive chair and chief executive officer Michael Wright says the extension is a contributing factor in Thiess’ continued success.

“We are very pleased that our ongoing commitment to safe and sustainable mining has resulted in BMA awarding us a four-year extension at Caval Ridge,” he said.

“Both our working relationship and the increasing diversity within our workforce are driving factors for our continued success.”

Thiess Australia East group executive Rae O’Brien says the extension will continue to benefit the local community.

“Thiess continues to support the development and long-term economic value to the local community at Caval Ridge by providing local employment and regional supply opportunities.”
