Mining Contracting and Services

The contract mining services and mining contracting industry has in the most part suffered decline over the past five years. Services include underground and surface mining, oil and gas extraction, specialist maintenance transport and rehabilitation services to downstream mining operations.

Industry operators in the mining support services industry depend heavily on capital investment in the mining division but limited demand and modest competition have caused many smaller businesses to exit the industry.

An increase in capital expenditure on mining in the 2019 year, in combination with a recovery in key commodity prices is expected to contribute to industry revenue growth in 2019 – 2020.

Demand from black coal mining is likely to also benefit the whole industry. Coal mining in Australia is typically open cut, which leaves mines vulnerable to adverse weather conditions and floods. The increased demand for black coal and the way it is extracted in Australia will assist industry growth in mining support services.

There are a number of factors that have a direct impact on the valuation of mining contracting and services businesses, such as:

  • A diversified service offering;
  • Quality systems, procedures and protocols in place which are regularly reviewed;
  • Having a history of strong compliance to Government regulations;
  • Proven ability to compete on tenders, and;
  • Effective implementation and use of latest technology and techniques.
