EPC solution for contractor to owner mining

Often the risks perceived with the change in mining type are too high, and rightfully so because a smooth change-over from contractor to owner-operator mining solution is not available in the market. Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that applying contract mining methods on a prospect with a long life potentially reduces shareholders value.

From the onset and due to experience gained as a contract miner, our advice in respect of owner mining equipment performance, fleet requirements, capital recommendations, procurement and contract mining ventures have been in high demand. Including but not limited to experience gained by our expertise during their employment as contract miners cover:

 

  • compilation of tenders (cost estimation) from first principles for several open-pit mining contracts.
  • determination of mobile equipment, resources and manpower requirements for open-pit mines.
  • extensive dealings with OEM's in mobile equipment purchases.
  • equipment finance dealings with various lenders.
  • drafting and finalising commercial agreements.
  • executing and managing several contract mining applications. 
  • turning to account, cost control and engineering of open-pit contract mines.

 

Naturally and given the complex nature of all the facets involved in changing from contractor to owner mining can become a nightmare, and even on an EPCM base, this process is relatively complex. Extensive experience in owner-operator and contract mining ventures, mine engineering and designs are not the only but minimal requirements that are essential to support mining customers in changing mining types.

 

At TacminMadini, given the vast experience obtained in the aspects mentioned above, has made it possible for us to design an EPC model which reduces the risk to the Client considerably and places the onus on us to deliver and hand over a well-planned, fully functional mining operation with look-ahead mine engineering, systems and trained personnel for sustainable mining practices.
