PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mining contractor Decmil has been awarded a A$13-million contract at mining major BHP’s new South Flank project, in the Pilbara.

The scope of the project will include civil and enabling works for the expansion of the Mulla Mulla village, which will be required to support current operations at Mining Area C, and will support the South Flank project, subject to its approval.

The South Flank operation will leverage and expand on the existing Mining Area C hub, and is BHP's preferred option to replace the 80-million-tonne-a-year Yandi mine, which will reach the end of its mine life in early- to mid-2020.

First ore from the South Flank operation is being targeted for 2021, and the project ramp-up will coincide with the ramp-down of the Yandi operation.

The project will be submitted for board approval in mid-2018.
