Mining Services
Ensham Coal Mine
Golding has had a long association with Ensham Mine, beginning with the initial construction of mine infrastructure before the mine opened in 1994. Since then, Golding has been involved in pre-stripping, bulk dozing for dragline assist, the removal of overburden, topsoil and some coal for this mine near Emerald in central Queensland. Over the years, the contract has included construction of site infrastructure, roads, dams, boxcut and ramps. Achievements have included successful introduction of a larger mining fleet to reduce operating costs, and a doubling of production rates over a 2-year period.
Ensham Flood Recovery
In July 2008, Golding commenced a Contract with Ensham Resources to mine up to 5 million cubic metres of mud and sediments from the mine pits inundated in the devastating floods of January 2008. The scope of the work included excavators loading both articulated and mechanical drive dump trucks to return the central part of the mine to steady state operation in 2009.
BMA Gregory Coal Mine
Golding has a coal mining and hauling contract for BMA's Gregory mine, in central Queensland's Bowen Basin. Golding also has a dragline assist contract where truck and excavator stripping is undertaken to meet the needs of the client. Other works performed at the site include various civil infrastructure projects.
BMA Blackwater Coal Mine
In July 2009, Golding was awarded a 3 year contract for pre-strip and coal uncovery services at the Blackwater mine.The annual production rate of 30M bcm is based on the operation of 5 stripping fleets. Golding was initially requested by BMA to undertake an 8-month contract at BMA Blackwater following high output performance and safe production at BMA Gregory.
One of the newest coal mines in Queensland, Kogan Creek Coal Mine fuels the nearby Kogan Creek Power Station. (Golding also undertook civil infrastructure works for the Power Station during its construction.) Golding has been involved in this mine since the pre-operation phase, including liaison with the Traditional Owners. Golding has a 10-year mine operations contract at this site and is SSE on the project.
Phosphate Hill Phosphate Mine
Golding has recently commenced a 5-year contract for mining and gypsum handling at this remote North West Queensland mine, which operates on a Fly In Fly Out basis. Golding has returned to the site after completing successful construction and mining contracts in 2003. Golding's role includes feeding ore to the beneficiation plant, loading finished product into the train loadout facility, and gypsum handling.
Bajool Marble Mine
Golding mined white calcite for Omya Australia Pty Limited at its Bajool Marble Mine on the central Queensland coast from 2001 to 2009. Work involved loading and hauling of blasted caprock and in-pit ore to the ROM pad as well as removal of waste rock to the disposal areas constructed by Golding.
Mt Rawdon Gold Mine
Golding has a long-term mining contract for waste removal and delivery of ore to the crushing plant as well as construction of tailings dams. To maximise local community involvement the team of operators for the project have been locally sourced and trained. Golding’s contract has recently been expanded to a 6mBCM per year two fleet operation.The mine is located some 450km north of Brisbane.
