Macmahon has received a notice of award for a three-year extension at the Byerwen coking coal mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.
The company has been providing open-cut mining services, including load and haul, and crusher feed, at Byerwen since the mine’s establishment in 2017 and provides employment to over 800 people on site.
“We are very pleased to continue as the mining contractor at Byerwen where we have worked closely with the team since the mine commenced operations in 2017. We will continue to refine the terms and conditions over the next few months with a focus on mutually beneficial outcomes that will enhance operational efficiencies on site,” said Managing Director and CEO Michael Finnegan.
The contract extension is a continuation of services from October 2025 and is subject to final documentation of certain in-principle agreed terms, which are intended to be finalised prior to 30 September. It is expected to add approximately $900 million to Macmahon’s secured orderbook.
The Byerwen mine is owned by Byerwen Coal, a joint venture between QCoal Group and Japanese steel manufacturer, JFE Steel.
