CIMIC Group’s global mining services provider, Thiess, has been awarded a six-year A$1.3 billion contract extension by Coronado Global Resources Inc to provide mining services at the Curragh Mine in Queensland, Australia.

Thiess has operated at Curragh for more than 15 years. Over that time, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the site and its operations, helping to deliver optimal efficiency, productivity and cost performance. We look forward to continuing this strong record of delivery with the Curragh team.”
In addition to this contract, Thiess will continue delivery of its existing scope of works, including the operation and maintenance of the client-owned 1400 tonne electric rope shovel and ultra-class trucking fleet.
