Global Mining Review,
Westfill Pty Ltd has announced the award of a two-year underground mining contract with Vault Minerals, previously Silverlake Resources, for the Rothsay Mine, located in the Warriedar Greenstone gold belt of the Yalgoo Goldfield in the southern Murchison region, approximately 300 km northeast of Perth, Australia.
The contract encompasses both development and production activities, focusing on extracting mineralised ore from narrow sub-vertical structures. Operations at Rothsay commenced on 17 September, and the award of the contract is testament to the solid relationship between Westfill and Vault Minerals.
Westfill Managing Director, Ashley Morcombe said: “We are very excited to take on our first full principal mining services contract with Red5 (now Vault Minerals after the merger with Silverlake Resources) who are a valued client of Westfill’s. Our Darlot development team’s hard work and consistently high performance are what put Westfill up as a key contender for the Rothsay contract. I would like to thank our entire team for pulling the contract together and mobilising in a short time frame. We look forward to continuing our high performance and success at another of Vault Mineral’s sites.”
