Global mining services provider Thiess has secured a six-year contract with MACH Energy at the Mount Pleasant Operation in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia.
Building on its current engagement, the new contract extends through to the end of 2031 and includes an expanded scope of work. Under the new agreement, Thiess will continue to provide full mining services at Mount Pleasant Operation, including mine planning & engineering, drilling & blasting, loading & hauling, run-of-mine rehandling, asset management & maintenance, as well as progressive rehabilitation, to support the mine’s expansion.
Thiess Group Executive Chair and CEO Michael Wright said the contract reflects the strength of the long-standing partnership between the two companies.
“We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with MACH Energy, which began at the commencement of the mine. Since 2017, our high-performing team has consistently achieved production targets and delivered strong safety outcomes, driving productivity and cost-effectiveness, and upholding our commitments to the local community and sustainability.
“Aligned with our client’s objectives, we are focused on driving further productivity gains through an expanded fleet, enhanced infrastructure and innovative technology.”
Thiess Group Executive – Australia East Rae O’Brien highlighted the company’s deep roots in the region.
“Thiess has been an active member of the Hunter Valley community since the Thiess Brothers first began operations in NSW in 1944. We continue to support the local economy, providing employment opportunities and delivering high-quality mining solutions for our clients.
“This contract recognises the dedication of our largely local workforce, and reflects the region’s commitment to balancing its mining heritage and sustainable development.”
As the Mount Pleasant Operation grows, Thiess will expand its services while maintaining existing operations, with a strong focus on people, technology and sustainable mining practices to increase production.
