North American Construction Group Ltd. (NOA - Free Report) , or NACG’s MacKellar Group, has received a five-year contract extension from a major metallurgical coal producer regarding a mine in the state of Queensland, Australia.
The new deal extends the expiry date from Jun 6, 2025, to Jun 30, 2030, and qualifies as a contractual backlog given the agreement’s minimum hour commitments. Rental scopes are estimated to be $100 million per year, resulting in a total value of $500 million.
