DMC have lost the shaft contract, I wonder who’s behind that ?
“Very happy with the outcome“
Yes they do.

No shaft sinking this year, article in Mining International.
“Anglo American has confirmed its Crop Nutrients business has ended the contract of its shaft sinking contractor, DMC Mining Services UK Ltd, at the Woodsmith polyhalite project in the UK.
Anglo, which only took ownership of the asset earlier this year, said DMC staff were expected to transfer to Anglo American under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, and construction progress was due to continue.
DMC was awarded the design and build contract for the construction of the deep shafts at the Woodsmith project back in February 2018 when the project was owned by Sirius Minerals.
This contract would have seen it engineer and construct four shafts at the project in North Yorkshire. Those shafts include a production and service shaft, each around 1,500 m deep, and two smaller shafts associated with the materials transport system, each approximately 350 m deep. It was to sink the deep shafts using Herrenknecht’s Shaft Boring Roadheader technology.
Herrenknecht developed the SBR for the mechanised sinking of blind shafts in soft to medium-hard rock. Based on the technology of the Herrenknecht Vertical Shaft Sinking Machine, the SBR offers improved safety performance compared with conventional shaft sinking methods while also achieving higher advance rates, according to the company.
DMC, itself, had become familiar with the technology after helping successfully sink two blind shafts to depths of -975 and -1,005 m, respectively, at the BHP-owned Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Sinking activities with the SBRs at Woodsmith, meanwhile, were expected to start next year, with the machines having already arrived on site.”

“very resourceful, efficient, well managed”
A coronial inquest into the death of a central Queensland miner who suffocated on lethal gas has found operator Anglo American's record keeping was "grossly deficient" and his death could have been avoided.
Key points:
Father-of-two Paul McGuire died after accessing an underground area filled with methane
Coroner David O'Connell found failures in the mine's job card system
Six coal miners and two quarry workers have been killed on Queensland mine sites since 2018
The company was at the centre of another major incident earlier this month, when five workers were injured in an underground explosion at its Grosvenor mine, which is also in the Bowen Basin.
Electrician Paul McGuire was sent to an underground area of the Grasstree coal mine near Middlemount in May 2014 to calibrate a gas monitor.
But the mine's electronic job card system sent the 34-year-old to an out-of-date location.
An inquest held in Mackay in February heard that Mr McGuire opened a hatch to the sealed room and suffocated on methane gas in a disused area known as a "goaf".
The father-of-two died almost instantly.
MELBOURNE, May 20 (Reuters) - Australia’s Queensland state passed new mine safety laws on Wednesday that would see company executives jailed for up to 20 years if workers die due to criminal negligence, following a spate of mine deaths.
The legislation extended industrial manslaughter laws to the mining sector, as part of a package of safety and other reforms for an industry that employees 50,000 people in the state.
“This offence sends the clear message to employers and senior officers that the safety and health of their workers is paramount,” the state’s mines minister Anthony Lynham said in a statement.
“In the past two years we’ve had eight workers die, and a gas explosion in an underground coal mine has put five miners in hospital. It’s not acceptable,” he said.
Four of the five workers injured in the explosion at Anglo American’s Grosvenor coal mine on May 6 are still in a critical condition.
Anglo American declined to comment on the new legislation. The Grosvenor mine remains closed while the company and regulators investigate the incident.
The reforms, due to come into effect from July, include the establishment of a new health and safety regulator, and require people in critical safety roles in coal mines to be employees, not contract workers, to help them raise safety issues.
Queensland has launched an independent mine safety Board of Inquiry into a coal mine explosion that caused serious injuries to five miners at Anglo American’s Grosvenor mine outside Moranbah last week. Mines Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said the board will be led by a retired judge or Queens Counsel and will be able to conduct public hearings, call witnesses and make broad inquiries, findings and recommendations relating to the explosion. He said “Last week’s underground gas explosion is something the industry has not experienced for more than quarter of a century. An underground gas explosion in a coal mine is simply unacceptable in the 21st century. The last mine gas explosion occurred at Moura No 2 in 1994, which killed 11 people. “The inquiry reports that followed those tragedies recommended safety measures that still protect mine workers today and that have no doubt prevented further incidents and saved lives over the past two decades. This latest board of inquiry is an opportunity to continue this government’s sweeping reforms to protect mine workers.”
