John Holland has secured a three-year $144 million mining services contract with Anglo American's metallurgical coal business at Lake Lindsay and Oak Park surface coal mine operations near Middlemount, in central Queensland.

 

Under the contract, John Holland will provide mining services to a number of open coal pits, including mine planning and scheduling, drill and blast, truck excavator waste removal and coal mining.

 

Over the full term of the contract, John Holland will move 10-15 million cubic metres of overburden each year.

 

John Holland's Group Managing Director, Glenn Palin, says the contract is its first with Anglo American and represents a further step toward the expansion of the company’s services to the mining and resources sectors over the coming 12 months.
