Leighton Holdings Limited (LEI) said Leighton Contractors’ Resources Division has been awarded a three-year, $170 million contract extension at the Woodie Woodie manganese operations by Pilbara Manganese Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Minerals Pty Ltd. The company said the role of HWE Mining at Woodie Woodie is the load and haul of bulk waste material, with the movement of manganese ore and other mining activities predominantly undertaken by Consolidated Minerals. Leighton said HWE Mining would now assist Consolidated Minerals to increase the rate of production over the course of the next 18 months to an average of 1.4 million bank cubic metres.
