Newmont Mining Services has awarded thyssenkrupp’s Australian Mining Technologies business unit a contract to supply an underground gyratory crusher for the Tanami Expansion 2 (TE2) project.
Newmont Mining Corporation has mine operations in the Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory of Australia, about 560 kilometres north west of Alice Springs and 940 kilometres west of Darwin.
The TE2 Project aims to expand the current mining operation by accessing the ore at depth to increase production.

thyssenkrupp’s mining business CEO Johann Rinnhofer said the company continues to develop its machines through continual research and development and client feedback.
