[{"type":"text","content":"North American Construction Group Ltd. Announces $2.0 Billion, Five-Year Contract in Queensland, AustraliaLargest Signed Contract in Company’s History Drives Record-High Backlog\n\n\n\n ACHESON, Alberta, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North American Construction Group Ltd. (“NACG” or “the Company”) (TSX:NOA.TO/NYSE:NOA) today announced that the MacKellar Group (“MacKellar”), a wholly owned subsidiary of NACG, has been awarded an amended and extended five-year contract by an existing client, a leading coal producer in the state of Queensland, Australia.\n \n\n The extended mine services contract has an expiry date of April 30, 2030, provides total backlog of approximately $2.0 billion and is the largest contract signed in the Company’s history. The extension results in an $800 million increase to backlog in relation to the original contract.

This level of backlog sets another Company record, surpassing the previous record of $3.5 billion reported on December 31, 2024. The contractual backlog in place for the Australian operations, $3.0 billion as at March 31, 2025, on a proforma basis, now provides full top-line visibility to 2029 at current levels.\n \n\n “Signing the largest contract in our history is a testament to the consistent execution and trusted partnerships we’ve built,” stated Joe Lambert, President and CEO of NACG. “With record-high backlog, including over $3.0 billion from Australia alone, we have exceptional revenue visibility through the decade and a rock-solid foundation for long-term growth.”\n \n\n “This is an exciting extension for the MacKellar Group with it being a tangible demonstration of the successful and productive relationship we’ve had with this customer since inception in 2022,” stated Barry Palmer, COO of NACG. “We a...
