TOMRA Mining has secured a contract from Pilgangoora Operations Pty Ltd, a PLS Group subsidiary, to supply 22 sensor-based ore sorters for the P2000 Expansion Project at the Pilgangoora lithium operation in Western Australia. The installation is part of PLS’ pre-Final Investment Decision early works, signalling commitment to large-scale sorting ahead of full project sanction. For process engineers, the move points to increased reliance on front-end sensor-based separation to upgrade run-of-mine feed and manage lithia grade variability before downstream concentration.

Macmahon Contractors has secured a 42‑month extension to provide contract mining services at Greatland Resources’ Telfer Gold Mine in Western Australia, valued at A$485 million over the term. The deal locks in a multi‑year mining services pipeline at one of the state’s major gold operations, supporting continuity of fleet deployment, workforce planning and site-based maintenance. Contractors and suppliers can expect sustained demand for open-pit and underground support services, consumables and rebuilds tied to Telfer’s existing mine plan.

ARAMAC has been launched as a standalone business focused on designing, manufacturing and distributing underground mining equipment, separating this activity from Aramine’s traditional narrow-vein specialisation. The new entity will target broader underground segments with complete fleets – from loaders and trucks to drilling and ground support units – while concentrating on a reduced set of priority regions rather than Aramine’s previous global spread. This tighter geographic focus is intended to deepen local service capability, parts availability and technical support for high-availability underground fleets.
