Thiess locks in Jellinbah extension
CIMIC Group subsidiary Thiess has been awarded a $189 million contract extension at Jellinbah Mining’s Jellinbah
East coal mine near Blackwater, QLD. The contract is a 30-month extension that will see Thiess continue to deliver mining services at the mine until September 2020.
“This extension reflects the successful relationship between Thiess and Jellinbah Group, which dates to the establishment of its Lake Vermont coal mine in 2007,” CIMIC chief executive Adolfo Valderas said.
Thiess managing director Douglas Thompson said the company was delighted to extend the partnership with Jellinbah.
“We are pleased to continue our long-standing involvement with the Blackwater community, where we launched our Sisters in Mining program, and support a series of community initiatives.”
