Re:group Announces Commitment to Acquire World-First Fleet of 11 Autonomous Scania G 560 8x4 Tippers and a Battery Electric Water Truck for Element 25’s Butcherbird Mine Expansion. REGROUP, a Pilbara-based provider of mining solutions, is excited to announce its involvement in a groundbreaking project at Element 25’s 100%-owned Butcherbird Manganese Mine. In partnership with Element 25 (E25) and Scania, REGROUP will drive the deployment of the world’s first fleet of 11 autonomous Scania G 560 8x4 tippers to transport manganese ore and waste material at the Butcherbird Mine in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The fleet is expected to begin operations in 2025, in line with the planned expansion of the Butcherbird Mine. We will also integrate a battery autonomous water truck into the site to continue to validate a fully electric future across our operations. At REGROUP, we are deeply committed to supporting the local mining industry with innovative, sustainable solutions that improve safety, reduce environmental impact, and enhance operational efficiency. This project is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the future of mining in the Pilbara and beyond, with the integration of cutting-edge autonomous technology. "Our goal is to drive innovation while ensuring our operations have a positive impact on both the environment and the community," said Michael Still Managing Director of REGROUP. "By partnering with Element 25 and Scania, we are helping to bring the world’s first fleet of autonomous mining trucks to the Pilbara. This project represents a significant step toward making mining operations more sustainable and efficient." A Key Milestone Towards Full Electrification Alongside the autonomous fleet, REGROUP is also supporting the roll-out of a fully battery electric vehicle (BEV) equipped as a water truck at Butcherbird. This BEV will provide valuable operational data, including insights into duty cycles and charging infrastructure, to support Element 25’s future transition to a fully electric autonomous mobile fleet at the mine. The introduction of the BEV water truck is a crucial step in optimizing site power infrastructure and renewable energy generation at Butcherbird. The data gathered from this BEV trial will be instrumental in shaping the future of electric vehicle use at the mine, positioning Element 25 as a leader in the adoption of renewable energy and sustainable practices in the mining sector. Driving Sustainability and Efficiency The deployment of autonomous vehicles at Butcherbird is expected to improve operational safety, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions, making mining operations more productive and sustainable. The autonomous fleet will also lower operational costs and infrastructure requirements, providing long-term benefits for Element 25 and the mining industry as a whole. REGROUP is proud to be part of this project, which demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to the sustainable future of mining. By helping to bring cutting-edge autonomous and electric vehicle technologies to the Pilbara, REGROUP is contributing to the region’s growth while reducing the environmental footprint of mining operations.

At McPhee, the plan is to haul 10 million tonnes per annum to Roy Hill for processing. From there the ore will be transported to Port Hedland for shipping. Both Atlas Iron and Roy Hill are majority owned by Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting. Besides MACA, Nyamal joint venture East West Pilbara-Ozland won a separate drill and blast mining services contract for McPhee. Indigenous contractor EWP is a Nyamal-owned firm. EWP-Ozland previously conducted civil and construction works at Atlas Iron’s Miralga mine. The awarding of contracts to MACA and EWP-Ozland means more than 50% of the total number of major McPhee contracts have been awarded. There are another four major contracts to still be awarded. The contract to haul the 10Mtpa to Roy Hill was split between MGM Group (60%) and Regroup (40%). CEO Group Projects at Hancock Prospecting Group Sanjiv Manchanda said the McPhee project was another step in the integrated Hancock Prospecting development approach, focusing on the product strategy for the broader group. “Atlas will continue to engage local and Indigenous contractors and maintain a practical approach to operations,” he said.  McPhee is expected to start operations in 2023-24 with first ore reaching Roy Hill in 2024-25, subject to the regulatory approvals being granted in early 2023 that will allow the contractors to mobilise to site and start the works under their respective contracts.

Alien Metals has selected Regroup Australia to provide mining operations and haulage services for its Hancock iron ore project in Western Australia. Through Alien Metals’ wholly owned subsidiary Iron Ore Company of Australia (IOCA), Regroup has been selected as the preferred contractor for the construction of an intersection of the project area at the Great Northern Highway, as well as an access track from the Great Northern Highway to the mine site. The company will also provide mining services, including drilling and blasting activities in addition to haulage services for ore from the mine site to Port Hedland. In a press statement, Alien Metals said: “The selection of Regroup as the primary contractor for construction and operations for the Hancock Project significantly de-risks the project and removes inherent interface and delay risk across the mine construction and operational activities.” The contract is subject to the completion of a positive definitive feasibility study (DFS) on the project, approvals, funding and the final investment decision. “That combined with their commitment to advancing indigenous businesses, notably through the championing of Maramara in Western Australia, a majority indigenous-owned proprietary limited company, is one of the reasons why we teamed up with Regroup.” Earlier this month, Alien Metals announced the start of DFS for the Hancock project to optimise the mine plan, infrastructure layouts, and the final capital and operating cost estimates. Regroup managing director Michael Still said: “In being a greenfields site, the Hancock Project lends itself well to autonomous and electrified solutions for both the mining and bulk haulage fleet. “We will continue to work with our partners in Scania and Janus to integrate new and emerging technologies where practical, both on-site and in Port Hedland. The consolidation of the construction and operational activities under one group will facilitate speed-to-market for IOCA and provide us with the opportunity to embed our expertise early in the project.”
