Contractor & Mobile Asset Procurement

For 25 years we have and continue to assist mining customers with procurement of mining contractors and mobile assets during which we have benchmarked our tenders against zero profit margin bids and developed control budgets for mining projects globally. Procurement to the tune of several hundred million US Dollars worth of assets and contractors, inclusive of the drafting of commercial agreements for logistically challenging and remote projects for mines in Africa, South-America and CIS countries.

Since 1996 we have generated 1210 mining cost benchmark models for international Blue Chip mining companies, with project values fetching up to US$ 5 billion, during which we simulated the Clients’ mine site conditions and imported geological and mine engineering data basis of up to 100 Gb for more than 12 different commodities - of which the annual ROM production on some exceeded 60,000,000 tons per annum. During this time we have developed and applied resource data basis with complete Life-cycle costing of more than 300 different equipment models and sizes, with hauling equipment that ranges from 25 to 380 payload tons and matching shovels of up to 45 m3 bucket capacity.
