The contract commences this month and has total estimated revenue of approximately $570 million over the six year contract term.

Downer will establish the mine infrastructure and provide services including drill and blast, and load and haul of waste and ore. New capital expenditure required for the project will be approximately $92 million. This will be funded primarily through operating cash flow and new finance and operating leases.
