PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Contract house Brierty has won a A$300-million contract from diversified miner Rio Tinto for mining and civil work at the Western Turner Syncline Stage 2 project, west of Tom Price, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The design and planning work would start immediately and mobilisation was expected in late May. The project would run for a period of four-and-a-half years.

The expansion of the Western Turner Syncline mine would see production increase from 25-million tonnes a year to 30-million tonnes a year, and formed part of Rio’s A$880-million expansion of its Pilbara operations.

In April, Brierty was also awarded a A$9.9-million contract for civil works at Rio’s West Angelas iron-ore mine, also in Western Australia.
