CSI Mining Services forms joint venture with PMW Industries

CSI Mining Services, a subsidiary of Mineral Resources (ASX: MIN), has formed its first joint venture with Indigenous company PMW Industries (PMWI).

A Traditional Owner Banjima business, PMW Industries has over 10 years of experience delivering rail and civil services.

CSI and PMWI already have an established subcontracting relationship, delivering crushing, screening and rehabilitation services to tier one mining companies. The new joint venture will help strengthen this relationship with a focus on establishing a mining services contract portfolio.

CSI chief executive Mike Gray says it’s fantastic to continue building on the existing relationship with PMWI.

“CSI and PMWI have been working together since 2022, including establishing an accredited Indigenous trainee program for crushing and equipment operators,” he said.

“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 thrilled to team up with a Pilbara-based Indigenous company.”

Banjima Traditional Owner and PMWI Managing Director Paula White says the partnership is beneficial to further grow the business.

“We currently have more than 50 employees across WA, with 55% Indigenous – this is a great opportunity to grow our business and expand our capabilities,” she said.

Ownership of the joint venture comprises PMW Industries holding 51% and CSI holding 49%.
