CSI Mining Services awarded five-year crushing contract

CSI Mining Services, Mineral Resources’ (ASX: MIN) mining services arm, has been awarded a crushing contract for Atlas Iron’s McPhee Creek project in WA.

The five-year contract is for the supply and operation of a 10Mtpa primary crushing plant fed by Atlas Iron via dump trucks or front-end loaders. The product will be stockpiled for reclaim and haulage by Atlas Iron.

CSI chief executive Mike Grey says the contract adds to the company’s pipeline of upcoming work.

“It’s fantastic to strengthen our partnership with Atlas Iron, with CSI also currently providing crushing services for their Sanjiv Ridge mining operations and crushing and haulage operations for Roy Hill,” he said.

“It’s an exciting period of growth for our business, with CSI recently awarded three new crushing contracts.

“The variety of projects we support ensures our people have opportunities to work on different mine sites with diverse clients, gaining experience across a range of crushing plants.”

Located in the northeast Pilbara region of WA, the McPhee Creek project is currently undergoing statutory approvals and planning. It has an expected production rate of around 9.5Mwtpa to 9.7Mwtpa.

CSI is scheduled to mobilise to site late 2024 to begin construction activities ahead of crushing starting in the second quarter of 2025.
