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.

Metso has agreed to acquire Valmet’s Flowrox™ peristaltic hose pump and progressive cavity pump technologies, including associated spare parts and service capabilities, targeting abrasive and chemically aggressive slurry duties in mining and minerals processing. The deal adds positive displacement options alongside Metso’s existing slurry and submersible pump lines, enabling tighter process control in applications such as thickener underflow, filter feed and reagent dosing. For operators, the integration should simplify lifecycle support and parts standardisation across critical slurry handling circuits.
