Newcrest Mining Limited - Papua New Guinea

A steady and consistent client of MEC, Newcrest utilised the expertise of our Business Improvement Team to work with the team locally in PNG to innovate a mine operations asset productivity improvement project that systematically tackled bottlenecks and constraints in the system to return 70% above target improvement.

The project team was formally recognised as drivers of a high-performance culture at Lihir when they won an internal Living our Values award for the step-change in productivity and throughput.

MEC doubled down on this success in later months with a study to further improve haulage efficiencies where we were comissioned to conduct a study and project manage a dozer push trial to replace truck haulage in difficult environmental and geotechnical conditions.
