    Industrea Wins New Rio Tinto Coal Contract In Hunter Valley

    Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

    Industrea Limited (IDL) announced today the signing of an agreement by subsidiary Huddy’s Mining Services with Warkworth Mining for the hire, service and support of equipment for its Mt Thorley Warkworth mine in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. 

    Industrea Managing Director and CEO, Robin Levison, said the company would provide a significant number of pieces of heavy mining equipment, most of which had been redeployed from Huddy’s operations in Mt Isa.  “These contracts are illustrative of the strong level of enquiry we are experiencing from major mining companies for the full suite of Huddy’s integrated mining services. Given the tight capital environment, many of our mining clients are looking to outsource rather than acquire new capital equipment and this is creating growing demand for our business.”    

    Mr Levison said the latest contract win continued the strong recent surge of business activity for Industrea, with over A$80 million of new contracts awarded since July 2008.   “Industrea continues to expand our business, particularly into the Chinese underground coal mining industry, which is showing continued demand for safety and productivity enhancing equipment,” he said.

    “We are on track to meet our fiscal 2009 earnings guidance and are building a strong pipeline for fiscal 2010, with no signs of a slowdown in our key markets.”

    Picks And Shovels Still In Demand for IDL

    Friday, February 20th, 2009

    Industrea (IDL) is the modern day equivalent of the picks and shovel suppliers from the early days of mining and business is booming.  

    Industrea is expecting to report an adjusted net profit after tax for the half of $24.65 million, up 106% on the prior comparative period. The increase in adjusted net profit after tax reflects improved financial results across Industrea’s businesses and the inclusion of trading results from the Huddy’s Mining Services business for the full period.  

    Reported net profit after tax for the period, of $3.7 million, is inclusive of a non-cash impairment charge on customer contract intangible assets, of $17.18 million. The impairment has arisen from the termination of the Handlebar Hill Open Cut contract.  

    The first half result is in line with directors expectations and the company reaffirms its full year guidance for FY2009 of adjusted net profit after tax in a range of $42 – $47 million.
