Having safely completed nearly 6.5km of development at the high-grade Eloise copper mine over the past two years, PYBAR was invited to participate in a competitive tender process for the new contract last year and was awarded the mining services contract at Eloise by mine owner, AIC Mines, for a further four-year term.
The new contract, with the additional scope of shotcrete services, will see PYBAR on-site at Eloise through to 2026, and includes the development of declines, level accesses, ore drives, stockpiles and infrastructure, providing all facilities, services, labour, supervision, administration, construction plant and materials.
Forming part of the PYBAR fleet of mining equipment on site is its new, game-changing Elphinstone CT WR820 10m3 agi, as well as two twin-boom jumbos, two loaders, a charge rig and a shotcrete spray rig.
Safety is at the forefront of everything PYBAR does across all of its projects, and the Eloise project has achieved a total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of zero to date, which is an outstanding result.
PYBAR's CEO, James Glover, said: "We are very pleased to have been awarded the extension of the Eloise project which is a testament to the work that has been delivered on-site to date by our team at Eloise. AIC is a growth-focused resources company and it's pleasing to be able to extend our term for another four years and be a part of that growth journey."
