The contract is for the haulage of zinc ore and tailings between George Fisher and Lady Loretta Mines and the Mount Isa Mines metal processing facility.
Glencore owns and operates the George Fisher and Lady Loretta underground mines located 20km and 140km respectively from Mount Isa along with a processing facility in Mount Isa which is responsible for the production of zinc, lead and copper concentrates.
Wagners scope of works will include the loading of the ore at the mine sites and its haulage to the processing facility in Mount Isa along with haulage of tailings from the processing facility back to both the George Fisher and Mount Isa Mines.
The haulage services will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the term of the agreement using 22 triple and quad road train combinations.
Wagners secured the renewal of its contract through a successful competitive tender process having demonstrated the required expertise and ability to deliver such an integral component of the mining operations having provided these services to Glencore since 2016.
Wagners has successfully undertaken similar haulage services for clients in the resources sector in recent years and remains engaged on a number of projects in the North West and Central Queensland and Northern Territory.
Wagners' Chief Executive Officer Cameron Coleman said they were proud to continue their long-standing relationship with Glencore in the delivery of these integral services for the George Fisher and Lady Loretta mining operations.
"The employment opportunities that this project provides is significant with over 80 personnel required to deliver the services," Mr Coleman said.
"We look forward to continuing our contribution toward Glencore's operations over the next four years and the opportunities that this project and our relationship with Glencore provides both Wagners, our employees, our local supplier base and the region."
