Specialising in iron ore, HWE Mining is one of Australia's most skilled and efficient surface mining contractors. We also have significant expertise in mining gold, coal, nickel and copper.
Combined with Leighton Contractors' 30-year mining history, our experience in surface operations also extends to the mining of lead, zinc and bauxite.
With a well-resourced team and a multi-million dollar fleet of plant and equipment, we are experienced in all aspects of surface mining operations from front gate to back gate.
Constantly innovating, we have initiated field trials of state-of-the-art surface miner technology at our operations in Western Australia's Pilbara region. In collaboration with the original equipment manufacturer, we have designed and developed a machine with a capacity of five million tonnes a year and which provides access to ore bodies not readily exploitable by other means.
Safety, flexibility, reliability, high productivity and innovation are central to our surface mining operations.
