Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX, TSX:WGX) has awarded a three-year undergoing mining contract for the company’s Great Fingall mine to Barminco Limited, a global mining contractor, noted for its work in underground hard rock mining.
The Great Fingall mine is one of Westgold’s smaller operations, and this contract will allow for the company to redeploy their team and equipment over to its larger, owner operated mines, which include Beta Hunt in the Southern Goldfields and Bluebird-South Junction in the Murchison.
The company noted that Great Fingall lends itself more to contract mining work due to its size and the relative simplicity of the operation. The mine plan and operation details are already well laid out, providing Barminco with a smooth entry into the project.
Managing Director and CEO of Westgold, Wayne Bramwell commented on the contract award, “After a competitive tender process, Barminco was selected as our partner for Great Fingall due to its stand-out safety processes, mining efficiency, and track record of delivery. These qualities reduce the execution risk around Great Fingall for Westgold and will ensure a smooth transition to contract operations in Q1, FY26. With the setup complete, Westgold’s high performing team can now be deployed to our larger operating mines, and we expect productivity and operational outputs to lift with their arrival. We look forward to first production from Great Fingall in early FY26 and welcome the Barminco team to Westgold.”
