Mt Morgans Gold Operation (Jupiter)

The Mt Morgans Gold Operation (Jupiter) is situated in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, near Laverton — a remote, semi-arid environment characterised by flat to undulating terrain and ancient Archaean greenstone geology. The site sits within the highly prospective Laverton Tectonic Zone, a structurally complex corridor hosting multiple high-grade gold deposits. Vendors must account for extreme heat, low annual rainfall, and pervasive fine red-dust abrasion, which accelerates wear on filtration systems, seals, and mechanical components across all surface and underground infrastructure.

Genesis Minerals Limited operates Mt Morgans as an actively producing underground gold asset. The workforce is structured on a FIFO rotation model, with personnel mobilised through Laverton Airport, placing sustained demand on:

• Camp catering, accommodation, and facilities management
• Occupational health and pre-employment screening services
• Consumables supply chains calibrated to remote replenishment cycles
• Communications and IT infrastructure for shift-based operations

Procurement categories span underground mining contracting, reagent supply, and maintenance services aligned to continuous production schedules.

The Jupiter deposit is exploited via underground narrow-vein mining methods, demanding specialised equipment suited to constrained stope geometries. Key engineering procurement categories include:

• Low-profile LHD loaders and underground haul trucks for ore extraction
• Drill jumbos for development and production drilling in high-grade lodes
• Ground support consumables: mesh, cable bolts, and shotcrete systems
• On-site CIL processing circuit with dual-fuel power generation
• Dust suppression and high-efficiency filtration systems for underground ventilation

Abrasion-resistant wear components are a critical recurring procurement need given the siliceous host rock.

Operations at Mt Morgans are subject to WorkSafe WA oversight under the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 (WA). ESG obligations drive demand for specialist service providers in:

• Tailings storage facility construction, monitoring, and progressive rehabilitation
• Water management and hydrogeological monitoring in an arid catchment
• Native vegetation offset programmes and land rehabilitation contracting
• Environmental compliance reporting and third-party auditing

Genesis Minerals' broader portfolio strategy reinforces proactive closure planning and community engagement with Traditional Owners across the Laverton district.
