The contracts are worth $100 million over a ten year period. Last year Rolls-Royce won a similar size contract with Ashanti Goldfields in Tanzania.
In a separate announcement Rolls-Royce (RR.) said it had won new AE 3007 business worth up to $432 million following an order for Embraer RJ 145 regional jets placed by Solitair.
