MLG Oz enters new long-term agreement with Fortescue subsidiaries
Contract covers Christmas Creek, Cloudbreak, Solomon, and Eliwana operations
Additional work previously secured with Rio Tinto for haulage services
MLG Oz (MLG), a mining services provider known for its operational capabilities across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, has expanded its footprint in the resources sector through a new agreement with subsidiaries of Fortescue Metals Group (FMG). This partnership deepens MLG's involvement in critical mining operations by delivering mobile crushing and screening services across multiple Fortescue sites, further strengthening its position within the ASX 200 landscape.
New Agreement Boosts Operational Scope
Under this newly formalised contract, MLG Oz will deliver stemming production services at Fortescue’s key mining locations Christmas Creek, Cloudbreak, Solomon, and Eliwana. These services will be executed via mobile crushing and screening equipment, supported by MLG’s personnel and infrastructure. The agreement outlines a two-year initial term, with the option for a one-year extension, reinforcing MLG’s operational pipeline and service continuity.
This development follows an existing collaboration between the two companies, with MLG already providing essential crushing and screening support across Fortescue’s operations. The formalisation of this extended contract marks a strategic milestone in strengthening MLG’s presence in the sector.
Strengthening Industry Ties
The renewed agreement not only underlines MLG Oz’s technical capability but also signals continued trust from one of the most significant players in the Australian mining landscape. Fortescue’s subsidiaries Chichester Metals and FMG Solomon will directly engage MLG in these operations, further integrating MLG’s services into their production chain.
The scope and longevity of the agreement are expected to provide operational consistency for MLG Oz, with the to attract similar large-scale contracts in the future. The company has emphasised the importance of long-term workstreams in its crushing and screening division, identifying this contract as a major contributor to that objective.
Previous Wins Reinforce Market Position
Earlier this year, MLG Oz also secured its first contract with Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO), one of the world’s largest mining companies. The agreement focused on bulk haulage and site services, providing MLG with an entry into a broader base of mining operations. Together with the newly announced Fortescue contract, these deals position MLG as a preferred mining services partner for Tier 1 producers operating in remote and demanding locations.
These successive contract wins showcase MLG’s strategic commitment to scaling its business by targeting high-volume, long-duration service agreements. As a result, the company is now gaining greater visibility within Australia’s mining services space.
Broader Market Relevance
Although MLG Oz is not a constituent of the ASX 200, its growing alignment with major producers like Fortescue (ASX:FMG) and Rio Tinto (RIO) demonstrates its rising significance in the mining supply chain. As activity across Australia's resources sector intensifies, especially in key commodities like iron ore and gold, companies offering critical infrastructure and logistics solutions stand to benefit.
With its tailored services and expanding client base, MLG continues to scale operations across high-demand regions, supporting some of the largest resource projects in the country.
