Ora Banda Signs $233m EPC Contract for Davyhurst Mill Expansion

15 June 2026 | Western Australia - Ora Banda Mining has signed a major engineering, procurement and construction contract with GR Engineering Services for the next stage of its Davyhurst Mill Expansion Project.

The contract covers construction of a new 3.0Mtpa processing plant at Davyhurst and has a contract value of $233 million. GR Engineering had previously been appointed as preferred contractor for the project, as announced by Ora Banda on 18 May 2026.

Ora Banda said the project is progressing well, with earthworks commencing in late May. The company said its team is now focused on advancing delivery of the new processing facility.

The announcement included a drone image showing earthworks underway for the new 3.0Mtpa processing facility at Davyhurst.

Why it matters: The signing of the EPC contract is an important step in Ora Banda’s broader Davyhurst growth strategy. A new 3.0Mtpa plant would materially increase processing capacity at Davyhurst and support the company’s plans to build a larger, more flexible gold operation in Western Australia.

The contract also confirms that the expansion has moved beyond planning and contractor selection into delivery, with site earthworks already underway.

For contractors, suppliers and mining professionals, the project points to ongoing activity across Davyhurst, including construction, processing infrastructure, site works and future operational growth.

The Davyhurst Mill Expansion follows Ora Banda’s May announcement outlining its “DRIVE to 300” growth aspiration and key project approvals, including the new processing plant and further mine development plans.
