Perth, Western Australia – 15 September, 2025 – Mineral Mining Services (MMS) is proud to announce it has been awarded a key mining services contract with Tennant Mining for the restart of their Nobles Project in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory. This project marks a significant milestone in the revitalisation of one of Australia’s most historic goldfields.
The Nobles Project signifies the first major gold mining in the renowned Tennant Creek region in two decades. MMS will play a crucial role in bringing the area back into production, supporting Tennant Mining’s strategic relocation of their processing mill to the project site. This restart of gold mining is timed to leverage the strong current gold price, representing an exciting new chapter for the Northern Territory.
Under the contract, MMS will provide comprehensive mining services, mining three pits to a maximum depth of 90 m below surface. This will involve cutting back the historic Nobles Nob pit as well as commencing two new pits on the Weebers and Rising Sun Deposits. The scope involves moving a total of 2.7 million tonnes of material. The project will employ approximately 70 people, predominantly out of the Northern Territory.
True to its reputation for operational readiness, MMS has already commenced mobilisation of its mining fleet to the Northern Territory, ensuring a swift and efficient start to the project.
Chris Mardon, Operations Manager at MMS, commented on the new project: “We are incredibly excited to be working with Tennant Mining on a project of such significance. Revitalising the Tennant Creek goldfields after 20 years is a landmark undertaking, and our team is proud to be on the ground making it happen. Our rapid mobilisation demonstrates our commitment, and we are fully focused on delivering a safe and productive restart at the Nobles Project.”
This contract represents a strategic expansion of MMS’s services into the Northern Territory and underscores the company’s capability in executing significant mining projects across Australia.
