Perth, Australia
Newmont Asia Pacific began transitioning Callie underground operations from contractor, HWE Mining, to Newmont Tanami following promising near mine exploration and approval to proceed with the ‘Paste Project’ to backfill mine stopes.
"HWE Mining has been the sole mining contractor at the Callie underground mine since 1995 and has helped make Tanami, which has mined more than 6.5 million ounces, one of the most productive mines in Australia," he said. "However, recent Newmont decisions to further invest strongly in Tanami – in new projects, facilities and mining infrastructure – means increased requirements for owner control of day-to-day operations. We would like to thank HWE Mining for a successful, collaborative partnership."
The transition is expected to take approximately six months, and all contractors operating at Callie will be offered employment at the mine.
