BUMA Australia has snagged a contract extension from BHP Mitsubishi Alliance to continue providing mining services at the Goonyella Riverside coal mine.

The two-year agreement extends BUMA Australia’s operations at the site through to September 2027.

“This contract extension highlights our longstanding relationship with BMA and the deep trust we have built together with its joint venture partners,” BUMA Australia chief executive officer Johan Ballot said.

“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 has provided labour, supervision, technical expertise, and mobile plant services for pre-strip operations and coal mining at the Goonyella Riverside mine since 2022.

The contract extension there follows wins last year including for pre-strip mining services at the Whitehaven’s Blackwater mine, and a $400 million extension with TEC Coal for continued operations at the Meandu mine.

“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,” BUMA International Group director Iwan Fuad Salim said.

“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.”
