Since kicking off in May 2024, we’ve delivered 21 successful blasts across two of their Central Queensland sites, consistently exceeding expectations in safety, efficiency, and service delivery.

A standout of this project? The rollout of our Hydra S2-100 pure gassed emulsion product — eliminating the need for AN prill and enabling more agile, cost-effective operations while maintaining the energy performance quarrying demands.

Jason Akers, General Manager at Quarrico had this to say:

“The blasting requirements of our business are imperative to the efficiency of our operations and requires care, attention to detail, flexibility, value for money and at times immediacy.  To date, our partnership with Platinum has ticked all of the metrics we require.  We deal with all levels of the Platinum business, and no matter who we speak with the “work with you” and “how can we help” professional demeanour is always present.  We have never had a delayed shot as a result of anything Platinum have had control over and our specific requirements being “provision of close to 100% useable raw feed as possible” has been met.  As a company and individuals to deal with, Platinum are fantastic.  The technical support provided by Platinum and the “working with you” approach is fantastic.  Equally important, the Platinum service is professional, reliable and consistent.  We view Platinum as a valued partner in our business.”

The materials we blast are used by Quarrico to produce essential products such as road base, rail ballast, stemming material, concrete aggregates, and more—all of which help keep critical industries moving.

This collaboration is a testament to our can-do attitude and adaptability, and we’re excited to continue working closely with Quarrico as we move forward.
