BUMA Australia Secures Contract Extension at the Goonyella Riverside Mine

BUMA Australia Pty Ltd (“BUMA Australia”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA), under the listed holding company PT BUMA Internasional Grup Tbk (BUMA International Group, IDX: DOID), today announced it has secured a two-year contract extension from the BHP and Mitsubishi Alliance (“BMA”) to continue delivering mining services at the Goonyella Riverside Mine, (“Goonyella”), a key metallurgical coal mine in Central Queensland’s Bowen Basin, Australia.

The contract extends BUMA Australia’s operations at Goonyella through to September 2027. Under the agreement, BUMA Australia will continue deploying three prime fleets throughout the contract period.

Johan Ballot, CEO of BUMA Australia, commented, “This contract extension highlights our longstanding relationship with BMA and the deep trust we have built together with its joint venture partners. It marks another important milestone in our growth journey and reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality outcomes, further solidifying our reputation as a trusted mining services provider in Australia.”

Since 2022, BUMA Australia has provided labor, supervision, technical expertise, and mobile plant services for pre-strip operations and coal mining at the Goonyella Riverside Mine. In addition to its operational role, the company remains committed to the Isaac region, creating local employment opportunities and supporting key community initiatives. Through these efforts, BUMA Australia continues to play a meaningful role in fostering community development and driving regional economic growth.

“We remain focused on supporting BMA’s operations while continuing to contribute to the economic development of the local community,” Johan added.

The Goonyella Extension builds on BUMA Australia’s strong track record and growing presence in the Australian mining sector. Last year, BUMA Australia secured key contracts, including one awarded by Blackwater Operations Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Whitehaven Coal Mining Limited, for pre-strip mining services at the Blackwater Mine, and an AUD 400 million extension with TEC Coal Pty Ltd for continued operations at the Meandu Mine. These wins reflect the Group’s strategic focus on maintaining its footprint while consistently delivering operational excellence and upholding the highest safety standards.

Iwan Fuad Salim, Director of BUMA International Group, stated, “BUMA Australia’s continued success in the Australian mining sector underscores our Group’s operational excellence and strong commitment to our core mining services business in Indonesia and Australia—two of the world’s leading coal jurisdictions. This contract extension with BMA reflects our capabilities and performance as a top-tier mining operator in both countries. We look forward to sustaining this momentum and pursuing further opportunities for growth.”
