Owned by Country. Built for industry.

Yardi Mining Services is a majority-owned Indigenous operated joint venture between Robe River Services and CSI Mining Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mineral Resources — built on cultural authority, operational excellence and a shared commitment to reconciliation, economic empowerment and environmental restoration.

Company overview

Two partners, one vision for Country.

At the heart of our joint venture is Robe River Services, the business arm of the Robe River Kuruma people. Our work is grounded in cultural protocols, knowledge systems and a vision for community-led development.

Our leadership is anchored in RRK cultural authority. The RRK Director’s role embeds deep cultural knowledge and ancestral connection to Country into every decision, with direct access to the RRKAC Heritage Advisory Committee when cultural guidance is needed.

CSI Mining Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mineral Resources brings the operational experience and technical capability. Together we’re setting a new standard for Indigenous-led mining services — one that creates meaningful livelihoods, builds local capability and protects Country for future generations.
