Yura Yarta Drills Towards a Stronger Future with GMS
In an exciting new chapter for Indigenous-led businesses, Yura Yarta has teamed up with GMS to launch an ambitious Drill Hire Initiative across Western Australia. This partnership is reshaping the way equipment services are delivered in the mining sector by putting ownership and service provision directly into Indigenous hands.
Phase One: Empowering Indigenous Ownership
The successful rollout of phase one has introduced an impressive fleet of rigs for dry hire. This marks a significant milestone, not only in the partnership but also in empowering Indigenous communities within the resource sector. The dry hire fleet includes:
- EPIROC PV271 Pit Viper Platform Drill Rigs
- EPIROC D65 Contour Drill Rigs
- SANDVIK DR580 Contour Drill Rigs
This strategic move ensures that Indigenous businesses are at the forefront of mining operations, building a sustainable foundation for future growth and capability.
Phase Two: Building Operational Capacity
Phase two of the initiative is already underway, focusing on building operational capability through structured training and mentoring. Indigenous workers are being upskilled to operate these state-of-the-art rigs, equipping them with the skills and experience necessary to expand into wet hire services. This progression means that clients won’t only have access to quality equipment but also to a skilled Indigenous-led workforce committed to excellence.
A Commitment to Long-Term Empowerment
This initiative is far more than just providing equipment, it is a bold step toward long-term empowerment. By establishing sustainable, Indigenous-owned services in the resources sector, Yura Yarta and GMS are creating genuine career pathways, fostering economic opportunities, and providing a model for what true partnership and inclusion look like.
