(TSX: BDT) announced today the award of two new contracts at the ArcelorMittal Mont-Wright Mine in\n \n Quebec\n \n , and an award for the 2Nations Bird joint venture for Fine Tailings works on BHP's Jansen Stage 1 Potash Project (\"Jansen Stage 1\") in\n \n Saskatchewan\n \n . The combined value of the awards is over\n \n $110 million\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bird's Heavy Civil team has been involved with construction at the Mont-Wright Mine since its inception almost 50 years ago.

The pit development will take place over the next two and a half years. For the Hesse 4 Project, Bird will increase the tailing pond capacity at the mine, requiring\n \n 900,000 m\n \n \n 3\n \n of earth to be moved.\n \n \n Following the awards for concrete foundations work and site services at Jansen Stage 1 earlier in the year, the new award adds scope for stripping, haulage, gravel road surfacing, access roads construction, drainage and piping work, and erosion protection. The 2Nations Bird is a partnership between Bird, Beardy's and Okemasis Cree Nation's Willow Cree Developments General Partner Inc. and Fishing Lake First Nation's Development Corporation, FLFN Ventures.\n \n \n \"I am proud to witness our dedicated teams' efforts being acknowledged through the recent awards at these significant project sites.
