Coronado Global Resources Inc. said Sept. 13 that it awarded a six-year A$1.3 billion contract to CIMIC Group Ltd.'s global mining services provider Thiess Pty. Ltd. to provide mining services at the Curragh northern coal operations in Queensland, Australia.
Thiess' scope of work includes overburden removal and haulage, coal mining and run of mine rehandling services, equipment maintenance and pit dewatering.
The new contract, which was awarded after a competitive bidding process, is in addition to Thiess' existing scope of work for provisioning and maintenance of Coronado's electric shovel and supply of an ultra-class truck fleet.
On Sept. 12, the company said that it amended its secured multicurrency syndicated facility agreement to US$550 million from US$350 million and extended the loan's maturity by 12 months to February 2023.
