Bravus renews Platinum’s contract at Carmichael

Platinum Blasting Services is proud to announce that Bravus Mining and Resources has renewed its blasting services contract at the Carmichael Mine for a further four years, extending a partnership that has supported the operation since the site’s first production blast in November 2020.

Under the renewed agreement, Platinum will continue providing full-service explosives supply and drill-and-blast engineering support at Carmichael.

Since commencing work at the site, Platinum has supported planned production activities as well as short-notice changes, wet-weather recovery and campaign blasting requirements.

Platinum’s Carmichael team has grown significantly since that first blast, with the majority of crew members based in North Queensland. That growth has strengthened local capability while supporting jobs, families and communities across the region.

The extension underscores Bravus Mining and Resources’ confidence in Platinum’s ability to deliver dependable blasting outcomes, and reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to operational excellence, regional employment and the long-term success of the Carmichael Mine.

Platinum Blasting Services CEO and Managing Director, Cliff Gale, said the renewal was a strong endorsement of the team’s performance and commitment at Carmichael.

“We’re proud to continue supporting Bravus Mining and Resources at Carmichael and to build on a partnership that has been defined by safety, reliability and collaboration since our first blast on site in 2020,” Mr Gale said. “This extension reflects the capability of our North Queensland team and the strength of the systems, technical expertise and service culture we bring to site every day.”
