Summary
Sheffield Resources Limited, as part of its 50% joint venture entity Kimberley Mineral Sands Pty Ltd (KMS), provides an operational update regarding the Thunderbird Mineral Sands Mine located in Western Australia. The company announces a strategic shift in its ore mining operations by separating the operation of the Dry Mining Unit (DMU) from ore mining activities. This involves terminating the current ore mining contractor's agreement and leasing the DMU on a dry hire basis from Sheng Feng, a subsidiary of Yansteel. KMS aims to improve ore production and reduce ore mining costs by at least $10 million annually through enhanced reliability of DMU and dozer fleet. These changes are expected to take effect with a new waste mining contractor taking over ore mining operations from 29 May 2026.
