Celebrating 17 years of successful collaboration at Australia's largest open-cut gold operation
Geovert has secured a significant 5-year contract extension with global mining giant Newmont Corporation, extending our successful partnership at the Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia to an impressive 17 years total.
The contract renewal represents a major vote of confidence in our specialised ground support capabilities at one of Australia's most significant mining operations. Boddington Gold Mine, located approximately 130 kilometres southeast of Perth, holds the distinction of being Australia's largest open-cut gold mine.
Innovation Through Collaboration
The extended partnership has been instrumental in advancing mining safety technology. Over the past 12 years, this collaboration has driven the development and refinement of our proprietary High Reach Drill (HRD) technology - a specialised piece of equipment we designed and manufactured in-house specifically for large-scale open-cut ground support operations.
Our HRD system addresses one of mining's most challenging safety scenarios: providing ground support on steep 30-metre batters while eliminating manual handling risks and accelerating mining operations. This innovation demonstrates how industry partnerships can drive meaningful technological advancement in mining safety.
Our Leadership Reinforced
Commenting on the contract extension, Geovert CEO Anthony Teen emphasised the strategic importance of the partnership:
"Our longstanding partnership with Newmont at Boddington has been instrumental in the evolution of our High Reach Drill technology. This collaborative relationship has allowed us to develop innovative solutions that enhance safety in mining operations."
"This contract extension not only validates our approach to innovation but reinforces Geovert's position as the leading provider of ground support services worldwide. We are proud that Geovert's ground support solutions will ensure continued safe production at Boddington well into the future."
Looking Ahead
The 17-year partnership between Geovert and Newmont at Boddington represents one of the mining industry's enduring and successful service relationships. As we look toward the future, this extended contract ensures continued innovation in mining safety technology while maintaining operational excellence at one of Australia's premier gold mining operations.
This partnership serves as a model for how long-term collaboration between mining operators and specialised service providers can drive technological innovation while maintaining the highest safety standards.
