DALLAS, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs
(NYSE:JEC) has been awarded a contract by Newcrest Mining Limited
to provide underground materials handling services as part of the
Cadia expansion feasibility study for one of Australia's largest gold mining
operations located in New South
Wales. This contract award builds on Jacobs' mining and
minerals business and long history of working with Newcrest across
the company's Cadia Valley
operations.
"During the previous study phase, our mining and minerals
experts helped identify a low capital intensity solution as part of
an integrated team," said Jacobs Mining, Minerals and Technology
Senior Vice President Andrew
Berryman. "By embracing an owners' mindset and applying our
experience in underground mining, materials handling and expansion
projects, our integrated approach has the potential to deliver an
impressive return on capital for Newcrest."

cost, long life mines and a strong pipeline of brownfield and
greenfield exploration projects, including operating mines in
Australia, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Indonesia. Jacobs has been supporting
