PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner Rio Tinto has awarded a A$100-million structural, mechanical and piping works contract to ASX-listed Forge Group at the Yandi project, in Western Australia.

The Yandi sustaining project would expand Rio’s iron-ore production at the Yandi operation from 53-million tonnes a year to 56-million tonnes a year by mining the Junction South West A and C deposits, and continuing mining at the Junction South East deposit.

The scope of the contract, which would run between January and December next year, included the construction of the structural, mechanical and piping components of the Junction South West and stockyards.

At its peak, the project would employ some 220 people.
