Crisis the Cawse of Orion's giant sale of equipment

A TREASURE trove of huge dozers, dump trucks and excavators from the suspended Cawse nickel operation near Kalgoorlie goes under the hammer in Perth next week, after the owner lost patience with talk of an imminent rebound in the west.

Major mining equipment rental company Orion (WA) said yesterday that it was selling millions of dollars of equipment from the mine, which was suspended indefinitely in October by Russian miner Norilsk Nickel.

"Look, we've hung on for a year -- how long do you hang on for?" Orion managing director Richard Harding said. "We wanted to put the equipment back to work when that operation ended ... but with the downturn in the mining industry there isn't the work available."
