Liebherr-Australia says it has successfully commissioned eight machines for Northern Star Resources – one of the world’s leading gold producers – at two of its operations in Western Australia.
These machines, commissioned in July 2025, join the five PR 776 dozers delivered to Northern Star in February 2025.
The latest delivery included three additional PR 776 mining dozers and three R 9150 G7 100-t class excavators for the Kalgoorlie Super Pit. Liebherr also delivered one R 9400 G6 400-t class excavator and an R 9150 G7 100-t class excavator to Northern Star Resources’ Bannockburn Operation. An additional R 9150 G7 100-t class excavator is scheduled for delivery to the Kalgoorlie Super Pit in 2025.
The delivery of these machines further cements the adoption of Liebherr equipment in the Western Australian Goldfields, according to Matthew Gibson, Key Account Manager for Liebherr-Australia.
He said: “Liebherr-Australia is thrilled to continue to strengthen our partnership with Northern Star Resources through this latest delivery. The R 9150 excavators are built to meet the demands of modern gold mining, providing a performance and durability uplift in the class, and the delivery of the PR 776 dozers further expands our footprint in the region for this increasingly popular machine.
“This milestone reflects our commitment to the region and validates our investment in a local branch in Kalgoorlie, which enables us to provide significant parts and service support to assist our customers to maximise equipment performance and uptime.”
PR 776 dozers and R 9150 excavators are powered by Liebherr’s D9512 V12 engine, designed to complement Liebherr’s mining equipment, ensuring the durability, efficiency and performance standards demanded by gold mining operations.
Gibson added: “With an increasing number of Liebherr engines now in Australia across our D95 and D98 ranges, customers are experiencing the benefits firsthand. These engines deliver the performance and reliability expected of Liebherr equipment, with the security and back-up of OEM-quality components.”
Liebherr-Australia is set to deliver an additional R 9150 excavator to Northern Star Resources later this year, bringing the total number of Liebherr machines in the miner’s Western Australian fleet to 18.
Daniel Law-Davis, Operations Manager at Liebherr-Australia, said: “Our collaboration with Northern Star Resources is an important example of how we partner with customers to deliver long-term value. Beyond the machines themselves, it’s about providing trusted support and ensuring we’re aligned with our customers’ growth ambitions. The expansion of their fleet with our excavators and dozers highlights confidence not only in Liebherr technology, but also in the service and support we provide locally. We remain committed to delivering equipment and solutions that enable our customers to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable operations.”
