CIMIC Group Mining and Mineral Processing executive and Thiess managing director Douglas Thompson said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Coronado Resources. Thiess has operated at Curragh for more than 15 years.

“Over that time, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the site and its operations, helping to deliver optimal efficiency, productivity and cost performance.”

Sedgman and UGL, which are CIMIC Group business units, provide various operations and maintenance contracts at the Curragh mine site.
