Stanmore Resources boost for Bis

The multi-year contract award, which follows a competitive tender process, will see Bis deliver load and haul services between Stanmore’s Isaac Downs mine and the nearby CHPP facility.

A bespoke haulage solution comprising high payload haulage combinations was developed inhouse at Bis for the project, which will be supported by a range of ancillary assets and services.

Bis chief executive officer Brad Rogers said he was delighted to be welcoming Stanmore Resources as an important new customer.

“Our companies share similar strategic goals, so I am thrilled we are supporting Stanmore – a dynamic resources leader with a strong track record of safety, productivity and innovation – into the next critical phase of the Isaac Downs project,” he said.

“Bis has a long, demonstrable history of delivering bespoke and cost effective haulage solutions that are uniquely customer specific and grounded on a stringent safety approach.

“These factors, coupled with a commitment to active site management and supervision will be fundamental in ensuring we not only meet, but exceed Stanmore’s expectations.”

Stanmore Resources’ chief executive officer Marcelo Matos said the Bis solution offered an industry-leading approach combined with highly beneficial local expertise.

“We look forward to Bis helping us deliver on a major component of the Isaac Downs project,” he said.

It continues what has been a big start to 2022 for Bis, following recently secured contracts for Hunter Valley Operations in NSW, as well as another new Bowen Basin contract for Anglo American’s Capcoal operations near Middlemount.

“This contract comes at an exciting time for Bis as we cement our presence in key markets and maintain our unwavering focus on delivering value every day for our customers,” Rogers said.

Mobilisation of the new Stanmore Resources Isaac Downs contract has commenced.
