Under the terms of the extension contract, MACA will provide open pit mining services, including drilling and blasting, as well as loading and hauling services.
Covering an area of about 225km², the Mount Magnet project comprises a number of open pit and underground mines. It also consists of exploration targets that stretch over mining and exploration lease areas.
