MACA has been awarded the mining contract at Atlas Iron‘s McPhee Creek Project, located in Western Australia’s north-east Pilbara region, roughly 100 kilometres north of the Roy Hill Mine.
“MACA has a strong, 20-year history servicing the resources and construction industries, and has built long-standing client relationships during this period. We are now operating as a Thiess company, and I am delighted with the effort between both companies to continue to support these relationships and critical project development in Western Australia,” Thiess Group Executive Australia West and MACA CEO David Greig said.
According to Greig, MACA has worked with Atlas for nearly 15 years in its crushing, civil, and mining industries.
“It is very pleasing to see MACA’s ongoing commitment to their clients. They have great people who pride themselves in providing value across a broad range of services,” Thiess Executive Chair and CEO Michael Wright said.
The project’s three-year scope comprises mine load and haul of up to 10 million tonnes per year before being transported to Roy Hill for processing. During peak operations, the project is expected to employ 145 people and will feature relationships with local Indigenous enterprises.
