Junior Mincor Resources has awarded an underground mining contract for its Kambalda nickel operation, in Western Australia, to Pit N Portal.
The contract will span the first five years of underground mining at the new Cassini nickel mine, where early surface work was recently completed, as well as a three-year contract, and a possible two-year extension period, at the Northern Operations, which include the brownfield Durkin North and Long nickel mines.
Mincor on Thursday said that it was targeting the start of mining operations in the second half of this year, subject to board approval and a final investment decision on the Nickel Restart plan.
