OceanaGold selects strategic partners who are able to assist them to achieve their clear
objectives of safety, lowest cost production and superior quality.
In 2012 OceanaGold selected RedBull Mining Services Ltd as their partner for the supply of
explosives at Macraes, Frasers Underground and Reefton Mines. We were chosen due to our
flexibility, responsiveness, superior service and competitive pricing.
The relationship has grown and strengthened over time, assisted by our open and co-operative
approach combined with our day-to-day ‘can-do’ attitude and highest quality emulsions.
RedBull met and exceeded expectations when in 2012 we established, constructed and
mobilised a greenfields site at Macraes Mine into full logistics, manufacturing, production and
supply in just five months.
In New Zealand we supply various gold mines and provide a fully integrated ‘rock-on-ground’
drilling and blasting service to over 120 quarries. We also specialise in the technically
challenging close proximity blasting on confined, urban construction sites.
RedBull Mining Services Ltd and RedBull Powder Company Ltd operate only within
New Zealand. Outside New Zealand we trade through a subsidiary, Star Holdings Ltd.
