BUMA Australia has announced a two-year contract extension with the BHP and Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) to continue mining services at the Goonyella Riverside Mine in Queensland's Bowen Basin.

Valid through to September 2027, this extension will see the continuation of BUMA Australia deploying three prime fleets over the period.

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.”

BUMA Australia's growth trajectory in the sector is marked by significant contract acquisitions that reflect the group's dedication to maintaining a strong presence in the mining sector while adhering to the highest safety standards and operational efficiency.

Last year, the company secured a contract with Blackwater Operations for pre-strip mining services at the Blackwater Mine and an A$400m contract extension with TEC Coal for the Meandu Mine.

BUMA International Group director Iwan Fuad Salim said: “BUMA Australia’s continued success in the Australian mining sector underscores our group’s operational excellence and strong commitment to our core mining services business in Indonesia and Australia—two of the world’s leading coal jurisdictions.

“This contract extension with BMA reflects our capabilities and performance as a top-tier mining operator in both countries. We look forward to sustaining this momentum and pursuing further opportunities for growth.”
