Mining services provider Watpac Civil & Mining has fired back at iron-ore company BC Iron with a counterclaim of A$52.78-million as the legal battle between the two companies intensify.
BC Iron, which is seeking damages for alleged failures by Watpac to comply with a mining services contract at the Nullagine iron-ore joint venture (JV), said on Tuesday that it would “strongly” defend the counterclaim and the claims that Watpac had made in its defence against the legal proceedings.
