Re:Group provides waste mining services for Kimberley Mineral Sands at the Thunderbird Operations in Western Australia. The team removes

overburden, including the very hard Melligo sandstone and Pindan sands, to safely and efficiently access ilmenite, zircon, and leucoxene ore bodies.



The operation uses a modern fleet, with on-site maintenance ensuring high availability. Re:Group works closely with client planning and geology teams

to maintain clean ore boundaries, minimise dilution, and deliver consistent production.

THE SOLUTION

• Rapidly mobilised to site and commenced operations ahead of schedule
• Introduced a site specific mining methodology to improve efficiency and ore recovery
• Deployed a fit for purpose fleet ranging from 100 to 260 tonne class to deliver full-scale waste pre-strip
• Established a fully equipped on-site workshop to maximise plant performance and availability
• Maintained strong collaboration with the client
• Consistently delivered safe, high-quality mining outcomes aligned with production targets
