In July 2006, Sedgman Metals Operations(PAC-RIM) was awarded a 5-year contract term to supply two separate crushing facilities for Xstrata's Mt Isa Operations:

• Blackstar Open Cut (BSOC) Primary Crushing Circuit
• George Fisher (GF) Fine Crushing Circuit

In addition to these two facilities, Sedgman was contracted to design, construct and commission an Independent Overland Conveyor to feed Xstrata's Heavy Media Plant (HMP). Once this conveyor was completed, ownership transferred to Xstrata, with PAC-RIM contracted to provide ongoing maintenance of the Independent Ore Feed System. Sedgman's facilities produce 6 million tonne per annum throughput. In addition, we have carried out a number of small parcels of crushing and screening trials at this site for the client.
