Mineral Mining Services (MMS) are rapidly advancing the Myhree open pit, part of the Kal East Gold Operation, a joint venture with Black Cat Syndicate.
Our proactive approach to mine planning and execution has propelled us ahead of schedule, maximising project value and delivering exceptional results.
Strategic Planning and Operational Excellence Drive Success
MMS’s strategic fleet management, including the rapid deployment of brand-new Hitachi diggers, has been instrumental in us exceeding production targets. This, combined with our seamless transition from free dig to drill and blast operations, has unlocked significant efficiency gains and accelerated the project timeline.
Key factors contributing to this success include:
- Productivity improvement projects: Implementation of initiatives such as hot seating and optimised shift change procedures, resulting in increased machine utilisation and a direct positive impact on production.
- Strong collaborative partnership: Black Cat Syndicate’s collaborative approach and exceptional support have been crucial to achieving these outstanding results. The synergy between our teams has fostered a highly productive and efficient working relationship.
- Proactive mine planning: Facilitating a smooth transition to drill and blast operations and ensuring the mining fleet has adequate blasted stocks to develop the pit ahead of schedule, while maintaining ore supply to the ROM.
“The collaborative relationship we have with the Black Cat team has been fantastic,” says Chris Kerr, MMS Regional Mining Manager. “Their support and proactive approach have been instrumental in driving the project forward and achieving these exceptional results.”
