Linfox was this week contracted to transport copper concentrate
for leading copper and gold producer Phu Bia Mining in S E
Asia.
Linfox Chairman, Peter Fox said the work with Phu Bia Mining,
the Lao-registered subsidiary of Australian copper and gold
producer PanAust Ltd, represented a significant expansion of
Linfox’s scale in the region.
“The work will generate over 220 new Linfox jobs and boost our
fleet by 40 vehicles. We will also transport supplies for the mine
on return journeys from export ports to ensure the most efficient
use of our fleet.”
“Linfox operations will be based at Quang Binh in Vietnam and
Sri Racha in Thailand, to deliver Phu Bia Mining’s copper
concentrate to ports for shipping to smelters in Asia.”
The product will be sourced from Phu Bia Mining’s flagship Phu
Kham Copper-Gold Operation, located around 140 kilometres from the
Lao capital city, Vientiane.
“The transport operation will be supported by significant
investment in state-of-the-art fleet and a well-trained team of
drivers, support staff and management,” Peter Fox said.
“Linfox’s focus on safety, training and our experience and
expertise in serving mining operations were key factors in winning
this work.”
“The new operation represents natural growth for Linfox,
leveraging our expertise in mining support projects and our
established operations and local knowledge in Vietnam and
Thailand.”
