Super Pit

The Mount Magnet gold operation is situated in the Murchison goldfield of Western Australia's Mid-West region, approximately 500 km north-northeast of Perth via the Great Northern Highway. The terrain is characterised by low-relief, semi-arid lateritic plateau with shallow drainage systems and sparse vegetation. This flat-to-undulating topography facilitates large-scale bulk earthworks and open pit expansion, but demands rigorous dust suppression programmes and careful stormwater management across extensive disturbed footprints.

As an actively producing hub-and-spoke operation, Mount Magnet requires a continuous, integrated supply chain across two extraction domains:

• Open pit services: production drilling and blasting, earthmoving, haul fleet maintenance, tyre management for heavy vehicles
• Underground services: contract mining, ground support materials (rock bolts, shotcrete), ventilation and thermal management at depth, explosives and development drilling
• Processing circuit: CIL reagents, grinding media, plant maintenance and instrumentation
• Workforce logistics: FIFO rotation management, on-site catering, camp facilities maintenance, and road-train ore haulage from satellite deposits

The operation integrates open pit drill-and-blast methodology with deep underground extraction, the latter demanding specialised ground support, forced ventilation, and active heat management given the historically significant depths achieved at this field. Ore from satellite deposits is transported to the central processing facility via heavy road-train logistics over regional sealed and unsealed routes. The processing infrastructure incorporates a CIL circuit supported by on-site power generation combining diesel, solar, battery, and wind assets. Material handling relies on robust conveyor and crushing systems to manage continuous ore feed from multiple sources.

Ramelius Resources maintains a stated commitment to local and Aboriginal business procurement, prioritising regional suppliers and requiring ethical conduct across its vendor base. Compliance with Aboriginal Heritage obligations under Western Australian legislation is a non-negotiable pre-condition for ground disturbance approvals, making heritage survey and monitoring services a critical B2B category. The operation reports zero lost-time injuries in recent quarterly periods, reflecting active WHS governance under WorkSafe WA oversight. Vendors are expected to align with the operator's sustainability reporting framework and demonstrate verifiable HSE management systems.
