Expansion options stay open

摘要

The collapse of Henry Walker Eltin Ltd, while sending shock waves through the mining industry, has seen a lot of the risk taken out of renegotiated contracts. Certainly this has been the case for Barmninco, which is showing no signs of slowing down and has started to look at new opportunities in South Africa. Australia's largest underground mining contractor, Barminco is owned by a company associated with Peter Bartlett. When pressed on the possibility of the company seeking an ASX listing, Barminco general manager for Western Australia, Neil Warburton, said all options for expansion were open.
