Decmil Group Limited (ASX: DCG)
(“Decmil” or “the Company”) announced that it has secured a $30 million
contract from Rio Tinto to design and construct heavy vehicle (HV) and
light vehicle (LV) facilities at the Mesa J iron ore mine in the Pilbara
region of Western Australia.
The scope of the works includes
the design and construction of a site laydown area, HV wash facility,
mobile equipment maintenance workshop, bulk lube storage facility, and
HV and LV tyre change facilities.
Additionally, Decmil will
deconstruct the existing HV wash facility and existing bulk lube storage
facility at Mesa J.
The Mesa J contract is
anticipated to be completed by the end of calendar year 2021.
Decmil CEO Dickie Dique said the
contract award was a testament to the Company’s ability to capitalise on
a buoyant iron ore and magnetite market.
“We have now won two contracts
with Rio Tinto in the space of a month, and in September we secured a
$41 million contract at the Iron Bridge magnetite project,” Mr Dique
said.
“This validates our enhanced
strategic focus on utilising our core capabilities to target a
significant tender pipeline with blue chip customers in the resources
sector.”
The Mesa J mine is part of the
Robe Valley hub, which is owned by the Robe River Joint Venture. Rio
Tinto has a 53% stake in the JV and is operator of Robe Valley, which
has two iron ore producing mines in Mesa A and Mesa J.
On 23 October 2020, Decmil
announced it was awarded an $8.7 million contract from Rio Tinto to
design and construct a laboratory facility at Mesa A.
