MLG’s Future Hinges on Northern Star’s Jundee Contract Extension Decision

Contract Extension Secures Revenue Stream

MLG Oz Limited (ASX:MLG) has announced it will continue providing integrated site services at Northern Star Resources’ Jundee Gold Mine under a new 24-month contract, with an option to extend for an additional year. This deal is expected to generate approximately $25 million in annual revenue, reinforcing MLG’s position as a key service provider in Western Australia’s mining sector.

Scope of Services Reflects Operational Depth

The contract covers a broad range of operational activities essential to the mine’s daily functions. These include in-pit surface haulage of ore and waste, run-of-mine material handling to maintain a steady feed to processing plants, stockpile and waste dump management, as well as construction and upkeep of landfill and bioremediation cells. Additionally, MLG will maintain surface haul roads, including dust suppression and road signage, ensuring safe and efficient transport routes within the site.

Strong Client Relationship and Operational Performance

Acting CEO Mark Hatfield highlighted the contract extension as a testament to MLG’s operational excellence and the value of its integrated service model. The continuation of services at Jundee underscores the company’s ability to deliver comprehensive mining support solutions that align closely with client production goals.

Strategic Importance for MLG

MLG’s integrated approach, combining civil construction, bulk haulage, crushing, screening, and asset management, positions it well to capitalize on ongoing mining activity in the region. The Jundee contract is a significant revenue contributor and a showcase for MLG’s tailored service offerings, which extend beyond haulage to include environmental management and infrastructure maintenance.

Looking Ahead

While the contract provides near-term revenue certainty, the optional 12-month extension will depend on operational needs and performance. Investors will be watching how MLG leverages this contract to secure further opportunities and how Northern Star’s production outlook might influence service demand.
