Sandvik secures major underground equipment order from Redpath for Cowal Gold Operation

Sandvik has secured a significant underground mining equipment order from The Redpath Group for deployment at Evolution Mining’s Cowal Gold Operations in New South Wales, Australia. The order is valued at approximately SEK 417 million (AUD 67.4 million) and was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The order comprises underground load and haul, development and production drilling equipment, including a Rhino 100, that will be used to support Redpath’s underground mining activities at the operation. The equipment is designed to deliver high productivity, reliability and safety in demanding underground operating conditions. Deliveries are expected to begin mid-2026 and continue into 2027.

Cowal Gold Operations is a long-life gold mining operation located in central western New South Wales, Australia. The site comprises both open pit and underground mining activities and is a key gold-producing operation in the region.

Sandvik Financial Services will continue to support Redpath through financing solutions aligned with the acquisition of the new fleet. Complementing the equipment delivery, Sandvik will also supply a range of digital solutions, rock tools and consumables, including raise boring products, as well as parts, components and related services to support ongoing underground operations.

“This contract represents an important milestone for Redpath at Cowal Gold Operations,” said Gavin Ramage, Managing Director, Redpath Australia. “Sandvik’s underground equipment offering aligns strongly with our operational requirements for this project and we value the collaborative approach Sandvik has taken in supporting its delivery.”

Sandvik’s underground load and haul and drilling solutions are engineered to support efficient mine development while maintaining a strong focus on operator safety, durability and equipment uptime.

“We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Redpath on this project at Cowal Gold Operations,” said Mats Eriksson, President of Sandvik Mining. “The order reflects Redpath’s continued confidence in Sandvik’s underground equipment portfolio and our ability to support complex underground mining operations in Australia. Through close collaboration, we are committed to supporting the successful delivery of this project.”
