BUMA Australia has been integral to Goonyella’s operations since 2022, providing labour, supervision, and technical expertise.
The company’s role extends beyond mining services, as it actively contributes to local employment and community initiatives, supporting the development of the Isaac region.
BUMA Australia CEO Johan Ballot said: “This contract extension highlights our longstanding relationship with BMA and the deep trust we have built together with its joint venture partners.
“It marks another important milestone in our growth journey and reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality outcomes, further solidifying our reputation as a trusted mining services provider in Australia.”
