Malabar Resources has reached another important milestone with the successful mini-build of our longwall equipment. A key step in preparing for full-scale longwall operations at the Maxwell Underground Mine.
This phase allows our teams to assemble, test and refine critical components in a controlled environment before installation underground. It’s a detailed process that brings together engineering, maintenance and operational crews.
The mini build is not just about machinery; it’s also about building capability. It allows us to undertake training on the surface with crews and commission each of the elements of the infrastructure.
Listen to Scott Cook, Project Manager, talk about the mini-build process to date, the testing and commissioning, training and then the next steps as we move towards longwall operations.
We’re proud to be working alongside Longwall Engineering Consultants, HBT Group, ZMJ GLOBAL, Inorail and Ampcontrol. Their specialised expertise is instrumental in progressing this phase, and we look forward to the next steps as we move closer to commencing longwall production.
