GR Engineering Lands $110 Million Contract for Laverton Gold Plant
GR Engineering Services Limited (ASX:GNG) has secured a $110 million engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX:BTR) for the Laverton Processing Plant in Western Australia. The 1.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) gold project adds a significant new contract to GR Engineering’s growing pipeline of work stretching across FY27 and FY28.
Having been appointed as the Preferred Contractor back in February 2026, GR Engineering had already commenced early works and ordered long lead items ahead of the formal contract execution. This latest award confirms the company’s expanding footprint in the gold processing sector, further cementing its reputation as a leading EPC contractor for minerals projects in Australia.
Building Momentum Across Multiple EPC Projects
This contract follows a string of substantial wins for GR Engineering in recent months, including a $229 million EPC contract for the Tower Hill Gold Project near Leonora and a $233 million contract for the Davyhurst Expansion Project. Together, these projects showcase GR Engineering’s ability to secure and deliver large-scale processing plants, supporting Australia's robust gold mining sector. The company’s ongoing involvement in multiple projects simultaneously highlights its operational capacity and strategic positioning in the market $229 million EPC contract.
Managing Director Tony Patrizi expressed confidence in the collaboration with Brightstar Resources, stating that the Laverton project further enhances GR Engineering’s standing as the premier minerals processing EPC contractor in Australia. The contract is expected to contribute meaningfully to GR Engineering’s revenue streams over the next two years, underpinning the company’s growth objectives.
Implications for GR Engineering’s Future Pipeline
With the Laverton contract now formalised, GR Engineering’s project pipeline for FY27 and FY28 is looking increasingly robust. The company’s ability to secure multiple EPC contracts in quick succession signals strong demand for its engineering and construction expertise, particularly in gold processing plants. This momentum may also provide opportunities to leverage synergies across projects and optimise resource allocation.
While the announcement does not detail project timelines or payment schedules, the contract’s size and strategic importance suggest it will be a key focus for GR Engineering’s operational teams. Investors will be watching for updates on project milestones and execution progress as the Laverton plant moves from planning to construction.
Bottom Line?
GR Engineering’s latest $110 million EPC contract reinforces its dominance in gold processing projects, setting the stage for sustained growth across its multi-year pipeline.
