MLG Oz bulks up Rio Tinto contract

MLG Oz (ASX:MLG) has extended its contract with Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) by three months for bulk haulage and site services at the Western Turner Syncline Mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. 

The original contract saw MLG providing volume movement of 1.6 million tonnes, covering off-road bulk ore haulage services, material loading, rock breaking, unloading, stockpile management, and road maintenance. 

The extension provides a further $5 million of revenue until March 2026, representing a quarter of the original $20 million covering the original one-year contract.

MLG Oz acting CEO Mark Hatfield says the contract extension is a “positive reflection of the successful commencement and delivery” of its services.

MLG Oz is a Kalgoorlie-based integrated mining services and resource asset management company, founded by Managing Director Murray Leahy. 

The company delivers tailored solutions to mining operations, primarily focused on supporting its clients’ ore processing facilities across gold, iron ore, and other base metals in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. 

MLG’s capabilities include build, own, and operate models, contract crushing and screening services, as well as crusher feed and material management. 

Services extend to include construction, road maintenance, rehabilitation work, vehicle maintenance, and machinery and labour hire. It has a facility at the Esperance Port that supports its end-to-end bulk commodity export logistics services.
