Australia’s NRW Holdings secures $244m contract from Evolution Mining

NRW Holdings, an Australian construction and mining contractor, has secured a A$360m ($244.08m) surface mining contract from Evolution Mining (Mungari), a fully owned subsidiary of Evolution Mining, for the Castle Hill project in Western Australia (WA).

Castle Hill, situated in the Goldfields region, lies 50km north-west of Kalgoorlie and 40km north of Coolgardie.

This strategic location enables NRW to collaborate with local businesses and strengthen the community partnerships previously established by Mungari Operations.

The scope of work outlined in the contract includes load and haul, drill and blast, as well as the construction of site supporting facilities.

Action Drill & Blast, a subsidiary of NRW Holdings, will undertake the drill and blast operations.

The contract is set to commence in November 2024 and expected to reach completion by mid-2030.
