MLG provides a comprehensive haulage and road maintenance solution for three satellite gold mining operations—Marda, Tampia, and Symes Find—delivering gold ore to the Edna May processing facility.

Located in the regional town of Westonia, approximately 320 km east of Perth, the Edna May site operates within a predominantly farming region, providing unique logistical and operational challenges.

A notable achievement for this project is MLG’s successful acquisition of permits to operate PBS triple road trains—the first granted in the region. These high-capacity vehicles enable MLG to transport larger loads with fewer trips, enhancing efficiency and road safety.

Additionally, MLG is responsible for maintaining 70 km of unsealed public roads critical to the Marda haulage route. The road maintenance operation includes grading and extensive dust suppression to ensure safe and accessible routes. This involves using a grader supported by a semi-water cart and a 76,000-litre road train water cart dedicated to dust control on the unsealed road section.

The Edna May project staff includes 92 employees working on a drive-in, drive-out basis (DIDO), supporting round-the-clock operations across both day and night shifts. The workforce operates in a highly coordinated manner to meet the project’s objectives, underscoring MLG’s capability to manage complex logistical and maintenance requirements in remote areas.

Since the project’s inception on March 9, 2020, MLG has successfully managed the haulage and maintenance demands, with completion anticipated by January 25, 2025. This project exemplifies MLG’s expertise in providing efficient and reliable mining support services in challenging environments, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in the Australian mining sector.
