    MMS at Tennant Mines’ White Devil: design and scheduling notes for planners

    September 21, 2026|

    Reviewed by Joe Ashwell

    First reported on International Mining – News

    30 Second Briefing

    Mineral Mining Services (MMS) has secured a new underground mining services contract from Tennant Mines, a subsidiary of ASX-listed Pan African Resources, at the newly established White Devil project about 50 km from Tennant Creek in Australia’s Northern Territory. The award rapidly extends MMS’s operating footprint in the Tennant Creek mineral field, positioning the contractor for further work as White Devil ramps up from initial development to full ore production. For geotechnical and mine planning teams, the contract signals imminent demand for detailed ground control, ventilation design and short-interval scheduling support on a new high-grade underground front.

    Technical Brief

    • For similar brownfield-style underground fronts, early integration of ground control and ventilation design materially de-risks ramp-up.

    Our Take

    Mineral Mining Services’ repeat work with Tennant Mines at both the White Devil project and the Nobles–Juno–Golden Forty areas in Tennant Creek suggests MMS is becoming a preferred contractor for small to mid-scale underground and box-cut developments in the Northern Territory.

    Across our coverage, MMS is consistently tied to gold projects such as Davyhurst, Leonora South and Nobles, indicating its fleet and skill set are optimised for hard-rock gold environments rather than bulk commodities.

    With White Devil only about 50 km from Tennant Creek, logistics and workforce can likely be shared with other Tennant Mines contracts in the district, which tends to lower mobilisation costs and supports rapid ramp-up for additional satellite deposits.

    Sandvik’s Toro electrification strategy: design and power notes for mine engineers

    Sandvik used its Future of Mining 2026 event in Turku to set a new underground electrification strategy built around a “Toro standard” for its battery-electric load and haul fleet. Head of BEV Strategy Tommi Valkonen outlined plans to unify battery systems and controls across Toro-branded loaders and trucks, targeting faster battery swaps and simplified maintenance compared with today’s mixed platforms. The strategy signals tighter integration of BEV hardware, software and charging, with implications for mine power design, fleet standardisation and lifecycle cost modelling.

    Omniflex at Nkomati nickel plant: mine-wide water monitoring lessons for engineers

    Omniflex is installing a new wireless telemetry system across the Nkomati nickel plant in South Africa to restore mine-wide monitoring of water and pumping infrastructure as the operation restarts after a R753 million ($46 million) investment. The system replaces legacy Omniflex equipment supplied under previous ownerships and is expected to give centralised visibility of dam levels, boreholes and pump stations over the entire site. For engineers, the upgrade signals renewed focus on remote supervision of dewatering and process water balance ahead of ramp-up.

    Liebherr Western Australia training centre: safety and productivity notes for mines

    Liebherr-Australia has opened a new mining training centre in Perth, Western Australia, built around an administrative hub with three dedicated training rooms housing three machine simulators, including a T 264 haul truck unit. The facility is designed for advanced, technology-enabled training for mine operators, maintenance personnel and Liebherr support teams from sites across Australia. For mines running large Liebherr truck and excavator fleets, the centre enables off-site operator upskilling, scenario-based training and reduced in-pit onboarding time.
