Evolution Mining, Sandvik partner for comprehensive fleet renewal

Leading gold miner Evolution Mining has announced a strategic investment with Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions to renew its underground mining fleet across key operations in Australia, underscoring its commitment to enhancing mine productivity and accelerating development at its Ernest Henry and Mungari Operations.

Matt O’Neill, Chief Operating Officer, Evolution Mining emphasized the importance of maintaining a modern, reliable and productive fleet across operations to optimize performance and production reliability.

"Sandvik's proven products have consistently delivered results, providing the case for this renewal program,” O’Neill said. “The deployment of these units over the coming year will ensure a seamless transition and continued operational excellence."

Sandvik will deliver Toro™ TH663i trucks and Toro™ LH621i loaders to optimize operational efficiency and support ongoing mine development initiatives at Evolution’s Ernest Henry copper and gold mine in Queensland. Evolution's Mungari Operations in Western Australia will receive Toro™ TH663i and Toro™ TH551i trucks, Toro™ LH517i loaders and two Sandvik DD422i development drills. Evolution is also integrating a Toro™ LH514 loader into the Northparkes fleet in New South Wales.

Deliveries are scheduled through Q2 2025.

"Our collaboration with Evolution Mining extends beyond equipment supply to include automation systems, digital products, rock tools, parts and service offerings,” said Wayne Scrivens, Vice President Sales Area Australia and New Zealand at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “We are committed to supporting Evolution Mining in achieving its operational goals and look forward to further strengthening our partnership.”
