Civil and mining contractor Brierty Limited (ASX: BYL) is pleased to announce it has received a notice of award to undertake its first contract for Atlas Iron Limited (ASX: AGO) for the construction of approximately
60 kilometres of access road for the Abydos Mine Project, valued at about $15 million.
The construction of the access road includes bulk earthworks, drainage and pavement layers. Works are scheduled to commence in March of this year and be completed by the end of June 2013.
Brierty Managing Director, Peter McBain, said the award of Brierty's first contract from Atlas Iron reflected
the Company's continued successful delivery of other civil earthworks projects in the Pilbara.
"Our proven ability to deliver civil projects for our clients in the Pilbara has demonstrated the strong capability of our construction teams, which has helped underpin this new and important relationship with Atlas Iron," Mr McBain said.
"We are excited about the opportunity to be part of the growth of Atlas Iron as it expands its production capacity and look forward to developing a longer term relationship with such a key Pilbara iron ore producer that shares many of our values."
This win brings Brierty's work on hand to $105 million for the current financial year.
