These are the very first Mahindra Fleet vehicles sold in WA.  Purchased by Barrick for use in the underground areas of its Plutonic Goldmine 180km North of Meekatharra.

Barrick Gold fit most of the Mine Spec requirements themselves, though we did fit the following prior to delivery to make their lives easy:

• Genuine Steel Bull Bar with 2x Aerial tabs
• Genuine Tow Bar
• MIne Spec Rust Proofing
• Steel Tray with Drop Sides, LED Tabs and Amber Beacon Tab

Upon arrival at Plutonic, the vehicles had fluorescent strip added with Barrick signwriting,we particularly love that one has been called "Elvis".  Perhaps the other could be re-named Priscilla?

Ready for a life underground, we look forward to news of how ELVIS 1 and his teammate fare over their time in the goldmine.

Thanks to Tom and the team at Plutonic for your photos.
