DOWNER AWARDED CONTRACT AT BLACKWATER COAL MINE
Downer EDI Limited (Downer) announced today that it had been awarded a three year contract,
valued at approximately $600 million, to provide mining and related services at the Blackwater coal
mine.
The Blackwater coal mine is owned by BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) and is located in
Central Queensland. The scope of work to be carried out by Downer under the contract includes:
 overburden removal and haulage;
 equipment maintenance; and
 drilling services.
This contract will consolidate two existing contracts and does not have any material impact on
existing operations of Downer at Blackwater.
The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said Downer was very pleased to be
extending its relationship with BMA at Blackwater.
“Downer has been working closely with BMA at a number of mine sites for many years and we look
forward to continuing to provide safe and productive services at the Blackwater coal mine,” he said.
Mr Fenn said Downer was a leading provider of mining services in Australia and its extensive
Queensland operations included the Blackwater, Goonyella, Commodore and Meandu mines.
