BUMA Australia has solidified its long-term presence in the Bowen Basin with a significant contract extension at Whitehaven Coal’s Blackwater Mine, valued at A$740 million (approximately US$489 million).
This multi-year agreement with Whitehaven’s subsidiary, Blackwater Operations, ensures BUMA will continue providing comprehensive mining services at the vast open-cut operation until at least June 2030.
The substantial contract underscores the strong performance partnership between the companies and provides BUMA with considerable operational certainty and a stable revenue stream over the coming six years. It also reflects Whitehaven Coal's confidence in BUMA's ability to manage the complex logistics of one of the nation's premier metallurgical coal mines.
The Blackwater Mine itself is a cornerstone of the Central Queensland economy, located roughly 20 kilometers south of its namesake township.
Encompassing an 80-kilometer strike length with multiple active pits, it represents one of Australia's largest and most important sources of metallurgical coal, a critical ingredient for global steelmaking.
This contract extension not only secures hundreds of local jobs and continues substantial economic investment in the region but also ensures the mine's continued operational momentum.
For Whitehaven Coal, the agreement stabilizes a key component of its production chain, supporting consistent output from a flagship asset as it meets its long-term supply commitments to international markets. Read more...
