Bellevue extends contract with Develop Global to mid-2026
ASX-listed Bellevue Gold has extended its underground mining contract with Develop Global for the Bellevue gold mine in Western Australia, securing operations continuity through to July 2026 as production ramps up.
The contract, which was due to end on December 31, 2025, will now run until July 31, 2026, on existing terms, the company said Tuesday. Bellevue and Develop have worked together since April 2022 to advance the mine from development into steady-state operations.
“Development advance is ahead of schedule, setting the platform for increasing production through FY26,” Bellevue said in a statement. “The seven-month contract extension allows this progress to continue uninterrupted through FY26.”
Bellevue MD Darren Stralow said the extension reflected strong performance at the site and formed part of the company’s broader plan to ensure long-term operational and cost efficiency. “We are pleased with the recent performance at the Bellevue Gold Mine and consequently pleased to extend the current mining contract with Develop,” he said.
“As part of our aim to ensure best possible mining and cost performance at Bellevue, we look forward to a competitive tender process for the mining contract on this long-life, high-quality asset.”
Bellevue plans to conduct a competitive tender in the first half of 2026 for a new contract beyond July that will include Develop and other established mining contractors. The process aims to maintain strong production performance while securing the most competitive commercial terms.
