Mt Wandoo

The Wandoo operation is situated within the Peel Region of Southwest Western Australia, a zone characterised by transitional jarrah-marri woodland and dense native vegetation corridors. Site access and earthworks are governed by mandatory Phytophthora cinnamomi (Dieback) protocols, requiring hygiene station compliance for all incoming vehicles and equipment. The terrain presents moderate undulation typical of the Yilgarn Craton fringe, with lateritic profiles influencing both geotechnical design and surface water management across the lease boundary.

As an operating polymetallic asset producing gold, copper, lead, and zinc, Wandoo demands continuous vendor engagement across multiple commodity streams. Round-the-clock processing requires uninterrupted diesel fuel supply chains, with on-site generation and grid-tied substation infrastructure sustaining 24/7 mill and ancillary operations. B2B procurement cycles span reagent supply, explosives logistics, and mobile plant maintenance contracts. The multi-metal concentrate output introduces complex offtake and logistics scheduling across separate penalty-sensitive product streams.

Ore handling at Wandoo relies on an integrated conveyor network linking the primary crusher to the processing plant, requiring high-availability belt systems rated for abrasive polymetallic feed. Crushing, grinding, and differential flotation circuits are standard for Cu/Pb/Zn separation, with gravity and CIL/CIP stages addressing gold recovery. Substation capacity and transformer redundancy are critical engineering dependencies. Structural steelwork, liner management, and pump circuit integrity represent recurring third-party service requirements across the full extraction and beneficiation flowsheet.

Polymetallic operations generate chemically complex tailings streams requiring segregated storage facilities with engineered liner systems, leachate collection, and long-term geochemical monitoring under DWER regulatory frameworks. Progressive rehabilitation of disturbed landforms, including topsoil stockpile management and native species revegetation, is mandated under the site's Mine Closure Plan. ESG reporting obligations cover acid rock drainage (ARD) risk, biodiversity offsets within the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, and water balance accountability — all representing active B2B service and compliance consulting opportunities.
