GR Engineering Services has secured a $79 million contract variation for Stage 2 of the King of the Hills (KOTH) gold mine upgrade in Western Australia, bringing the total contract value to $155 million. Awarded by Greenstone Resources, a subsidiary of Vault Minerals Limited, the project aims to enhance the processing plant’s capacity to 7.5 million tonnes per annum.

Located near Leonora in the Goldfields region, approximately 900km North East of Perth, the KOTH upgrade is poised to bolster the local economy by creating jobs and stimulating regional development. GR Engineering Managing Director Tony Patrizi expressed enthusiasm about continuing the partnership with Vault Minerals, highlighting the project’s significance in strengthening Western Australia’s mining sector.

The immediate commencement of works underscores the project’s momentum, with Stage 2 complementing the ongoing initial phase. This development not only reinforces GR Engineering’s role in the state’s mining industry but also contributes to economic growth and employment opportunities in the region.
