We ran a very competitive tender process and we are pleased to have awarded the Woodlawn contract to PYBAR. In addition to their strong capability to undertake the proposed works, we see a significant advantage in their local New South Wales base for providing rapid project support. We look forward to working with PYBAR as we commence development and mining operations at Woodlawn.”
PYBAR’s CEO, Brendan Rouse, commented:
“PYBAR is delighted to be working with Heron at the Woodlawn Project. We look forward to bringing our strong local presence and innovative approach to Woodlawn and working in close collaboration with Heron’s technical team to deliver the Project successfully.”
