PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mining giant Rio Tinto has awarded another contract at its West Angelas iron-ore mine, in Western Australia.

Project house Decmil Group on Thursday announced that it was awarded a A$35-million contract for the design, supply, fabrication, transportation, construction and commissioning of the non-process infrastructure required to support the expansion of the West Angelas deposit B.

The $680-million expansion of West Angelas would extend the mine life by about 13 years and would create more than 290 new jobs in the Pilbara during construction, while the ongoing operational workforce would increase by some 200 to a total of 1 300.

Output from West Angelas would be increased from 29-million tonnes a year to 35-million tonnes a year.
