MLG OZ REMAINS IN FIELDS OF GOLD

Gold Fields Ltd awarded a new contract, plus two extensions to
existing works, to MLG Oz Ltd in November.
MLG is expecting an additional $15 million in revenue for FY23
following a new agreement to service Gold Fields’ Barren Lands
open pit at the Agnew gold mine, north of Kalgoorlie. The expanded
scope of works contract will see MLG provide heavy earthworks to
help establish the new pit.
Elsewhere at Agnew, Gold Fields has extended an existing
agreement with MLG for site services and haulage for an additional
three years. This will see MLG stay at Agnew for the next 16 years.
MLG also received a three-year extension for the same nature of
works at Gold Fields’ St Ives operations south of Kalgoorlie. Gold
