We are a Reefton based mining and contracting business, owned and led by Ross Moore since 1995. We are the largest contract mining organisation in the South Island – 4 projects underway plus our own coal & gold mines. We have worked and will work anywhere in the South Island. Rosco Contractors is proud to be helping Federation Mining’s Snowy River Gold project come to fruition. It is carrying out the civil earthworks and site development including roading, platforms for new infrastructure, constructing the base for the process plant tailings and waste rock embankment, water management ponds and associated wetlands. Rosco Contractors engineer Dave Stone says the advantage to Federation Mining of using Rosco Contractors is that it can respond with people and gear quickly to meet their needs. “We’re one of the biggest contractors on the West Coast in terms of equipment and we can do most things. For example we have also crushed aggregate on site for Federation Mining and have transporters and road, truck and trailers units etc.” Rosco Contractors started on site in September 2020 and has since turned the former forestry block into a mining site. It has Rosco Contractors right at home been hiring articulated dump trucks and drivers to Federation Mining for the tunnelling twin declines. Future projects include site earthworks for the $60m processing plant. “It's a very positive development for the West Coast,” says Dave. “It’s good to see something like this happening.” RCL was founded by company owner Ross (Rosco) Moore in 1995. Reefton born and bred, Rosco knows the mining industry from the ground up and is proud to run Rosco Contractors from the front, pioneering new projects and leading technical jobs on the company’s existing projects. The company now employs around 100 sta making it a major employer on the West Coast. The younger generation of Moores is involved in the business with Rosco’s son Daniel company operations manager and daughter Aimee managing the o ice. Dave says that Rosco Contractors re lects Rosco’s hands-on, can-do attitude, which sees it work in the most challenging conditions, whatever the site terrain, weather and level of technical di iculty. In addition to mine rehabilitation, the company’s services include contract mining, civil engineering and providing a full service to quarry owners from development through to drill and blast, quarry operation and materials processing. It also carts coal, gravel, fertilizer and other bulk materials and works with major civil contractors on a variety of projects. At its Reefton base it also operates a consented land ill, which is able to accept a range of contaminated materials from projects as far a ield as Canterbury and Golden Bay. Rosco Contractors boasts a large leet of wholly owned modern equipment focused on reputable brands and most of the plant leet is available for hire either wet or dry for both short term and long term hire periods. Dave says Rosco Contractors actively growing the civil engineering and earthworks side of its operation to meet demand in the region. At present this involves a lot of sea wall and river protection work to future proof the area, particularly in the Buller region. Rosco Contractors is also currently working on the upgrade of the McCallums Mill Road improving access to the Oparara basin in Kahurangi National Park for DOC. Dave says key challenges include operating to strict environmental criteria and in a high rainfall area. It is also completing OceanaGold’s Globe Hill Mine Site Rehabilitation in Reefton, which it has been working on since 2017. The project has involved a lot of earthworks, major water management projects and reshaping the landscape ready to plant trees. Dave says it’s just another example of the type of projects Rosco Contractors loves to undertake to bene it the region.
