en.Wedoany.com Reported - Underground mining services company PYBAR (a Thiess subsidiary) has recently secured multiple contracts across various mining regions in Australia, covering gold and critical minerals. The contracts include new agreements for the Sunday Creek gold-antimony project and the Fosterville gold mine in Victoria, as well as a contract extension for the Rosebery polymetallic base metal mine in Tasmania.

Michael Wright, Group Executive and Chairman of Thiess, stated that these contracts reflect PYBAR's key role in advancing Australia's underground and critical minerals sectors. He noted that from supporting the Victorian critical minerals pipeline at Sunday Creek, to driving the next phase of expansion and sustainable development at Fosterville, and continuing collaboration at Rosebery, each project demonstrates PYBAR's ability to deliver safe, reliable, and large-scale underground mining services.

At the Sunday Creek gold-antimony project, located 60 kilometers north of Melbourne, Southern Cross Gold Consolidated has appointed PYBAR to undertake underground decline construction, including open-cut ground support, main decline development, portal establishment, and support services, which will also cover level development and diamond drilling platforms.

In a separate arrangement, Agnico Eagle has appointed PYBAR to provide raisebore and shaft lining services at the Fosterville gold mine, 20 kilometers from Bendigo. The project involves excavating and lining a raisebore shaft with a depth of 374 meters and a diameter of 5.5 meters, a key component of the mine's primary ventilation upgrade aimed at improving operational efficiency and supporting Fosterville's expansion.

Additionally, PYBAR has signed a two-year extension of its existing agreement with MMG to continue providing shotcrete and cemented rockfill services at the Rosebery polymetallic base metal mine. The previous three-year contract was notable for achieving positive production results without any recordable injuries. Last year, PYBAR also secured a three-year underground rehabilitation and development contract at Rosebery.
