RE:GROUP

Pilbara, Western Australia — RE:GROUP Australia Pty Ltd is excited to announce its appointment as the Head Mining Services Contractor for the Extension Iron Ore Project in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. This significant milestone further solidifies RE:GROUP’s position as one of Australia’s most dynamic and fast-growing mining services companies.


The contract, awarded by Extension Iron Ore Pty Ltd, entrusts RE:GROUP with the full responsibility for both the development and operational delivery of the project. In partnership with Macro Mining Services Pty Ltd (MMS), a subsidiary of Macro Metals Limited (ASX: M4M), RE:GROUP will oversee the complete lifecycle of the mine, delivering high-quality services from the initial stages to full production.


A Transformational Step Forward
“This project is a defining moment for our company,” Michael Still added. “It not only validates the precision and capability we’ve built into our operations, but it also sets the stage for RE:GROUP’s next phase of growth — not just in the Pilbara, but across Australia. We’re focused on delivering value to every stakeholder involved and continuing to lead the way in mining excellence.”


Project Scope and Collaboration

Under the terms of the contract, RE:GROUP and our strategic partner Macro Mining Services (MMS) — a subsidiary of Macro Metals Limited (ASX: M4M) will take full charge of technical, developmental, and operational services, including securing all remaining project approvals, establishing the mine site, and managing the core operations such as drilling, blasting, mining, and haulage. Additionally, RE:GROUP will handle the delivery of saleable iron ore to the Utah Point Bulk Handling Facility in Port Hedland.


Macro Mining Services will provide exclusive technical services such as exploration, permitting, and mine planning. The two companies will collaborate on-site for establishment and operational works, with MMS exclusively managing the crushing and screening operations under a build-own-operate model.


Strategic Location and Project Potential

The Extension Iron Ore Project spans 27.6 km² and is ideally located near major mining hubs — just 2 km from BHP’s Yandi Operations and 20 km from Rio Tinto’s Yandicoogina site. With an Indicated Mineral Resource of 16.1 Mt at 54.2% Fe, the project shows promising upgrade potential, with test work indicating a possible increase in iron content to over 57% Fe through dry screening.

The site’s proximity to Port Hedland and RE:GROUP’s strategic logistics hub will provide substantial operational efficiencies, facilitating smoother stockpiling, haulage, and blending processes.


Shaping the Future of Mining

RE:GROUP’s appointment marks a significant step forward for the company and signals its growing influence in the Australian mining sector. The partnership with Macro Mining Services is a powerful example of how aligned businesses can drive innovation, operational success, and lasting impact.


“We’re excited to work alongside Macro Mining Services to deliver a project that will benefit local communities, regional economies, and create long-term value,” Michael Still concluded. “This collaboration is proof that when businesses share a vision and align their strengths, the results speak for themselves.”


As RE:GROUP moves forward with the Extension Iron Ore Project, the company is poised to continue leading national growth in the mining industry, with a commitment to operational excellence, safety, and sustainable practices.

RE:GROUP Awarded Ore Mining Contract at Thunderbird Mineral Sands Mine, Now Fully Operational.

By RE:GROUP • August 25, 2026
Western Australian mining contractor RE:GROUP has been awarded a 3 + 2 year ore mining contract at the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Mine, located in The Kimberley’s, and is now fully operational at the site with an 89-strong team on the ground. RE:GROUP has deployed a fleet of five D11 dozers, three excavators, and a 988K wheel loader to conduct all ore mining operations at Thunderbird. The scope covers direct-feed dozer push operations, a specialised methodology in which ore is pushed directly into the Dry Mining Unit (DMU), in close integration with Kimberley Mineral Sands' technical services team. The contract marks RE:GROUP's entry into direct-feed dozer push mineral sands mining, adding a new capability to the business's established portfolio of contract mining, bulk haulage, and civil services across Australia. From waste mining to ore mining — a partnership built on performance RE:GROUP's appointment to the ore mining scope at Thunderbird is the direct result of the performance demonstrated through its earlier waste mining contract at the site. Having integrated closely with the Kimberley Mineral Sands team on the ground, RE:GROUP earned the confidence of its client to take on the expanded ore mining scope, deploying its new fleet of D11 dozers to deliver the next phase of operations. RE:GROUP Managing Director Michael Still said the Thunderbird contract is a reflection of how the business builds long-term client relationships. "Our relationship with Kimberley Mineral Sands at Thunderbird is a great example of what genuine partnership looks like in practice. We came onto this project through the waste mining contract, and the way our team performed and integrated with the Kimberley Mineral Sands operation opened the door to this next phase — bringing our new fleet of D11 dozers to deliver the ore mining scope. That's how RE:GROUP builds long-term client relationships. We show up, we deliver, and we grow together." — Michael Still, Managing Director, RE:GROUP Contract signing The contract was formalised at a signing ceremony held at RE:GROUP's Perth offices, bringing together the RE:GROUP and Kimberley Mineral Sands teams.

RE:GROUP Awarded Dual Mining Contracts at Flying Horse and Lady Annie Mines

By RE:GROUP • August 7, 2026
RE:GROUP is proud to announce the award of two separate mining scopes with Austral Resources, with operations now underway at both Flying Horse Mine and Lady Annie Mine, marking a significant expansion of the company's Queensland footprint. Following the successful completion of mining activities at Anthill Mine near Mount Isa, RE:GROUP has mobilised concurrently to both sites, delivering on two distinct contracts. The dual deployment reflects the scale and depth of capability RE:GROUP has developed through its long-standing partnership with Austral Resources. The dual award sees RE:GROUP deploy 80 personnel across both operations, supported by a heavy fleet of 100-tonne dump trucks, excavators, dozers, and ancillary equipment, underpinning a sustained and growing Queensland presence for the company. Over the coming weeks, RE:GROUP will deploy further new 100-tonne dump trucks and assemble a purpose-built 200-tonne excavator on site to bolster the operation. The scope across each site includes all on-site mining services, pit excavation and loading, fleet operations and pit management, integration with Austral's mine planning and production teams, and maintenance of RE:GROUP's in-pit mining fleet. Managing Director Michael Still said the dual award is a landmark moment for the business. "Expanding our footprint with a multi-site operation and supporting the growth of a key client like Austral Resources signifies the trust placed in our team," Mr Still said. "To complete Anthill to a high standard and immediately mobilise to not one, but two new operations — Flying Horse and Lady Annie — speaks volumes about the capability and commitment of everyone in the RE:GROUP family. This is exactly the kind of work we've built this business to deliver." "Queensland is a strategically important region for us, and these contracts significantly strengthen our position there. We're proud to deepen our partnership with Austral and look forward to delivering the same standard of safe, efficient, and reliable performance our clients have come to expect from RE:GROUP."  RE:GROUP extends its sincere thanks to Austral Resources for their continued confidence in the team, and acknowledges the dedication of its workforce whose performance at Anthill made this next chapter possible.
