In a world of constant disruption, African supply chains are under pressure to become faster, smarter and more resilient. But while the supply chain landscape is shifting, one fact remains unchanged: the success of supply chains depends on the people who manage them.
RCT – Powered by Epiroc, has announced it assisted with the stabilisation and remediation at a gold mine operation in Northern Canada through its support for the deployment of the AutoNav (semi-automation) Lite on two dozers. The semi-automation mining solution is designed for remote control of dozers and other machinery.
Replacement of broken or worn-out pumps need not always be the best course of action. Rather, a properly executed OEM repair can deliver the same performance at a lower cost and in less time. This is often a sensible route to go for operators and provides a good balance between costs and availability. This is
Mining operations are under growing pressure as they go deeper, encounter more variable geology and face tightening safety, cost and ESG demands. In this environment, blasting performance can no longer be managed reactively or treated as a fixed-design exercise, it must be engineered for predictability by understanding and responding to changing ground conditions throughout the
South Africa’s solar boom is highlighting a gap between rapid deployment and local industrial growth, with most high-value components still imported despite up to 3GW added in the past two years.
As mining operations place increasing pressure on plant throughput, equipment longevity and environmental control, transfer point design is becoming a far more strategic component of materials handling systems. According to Dewald Tintinger, Technical director at Weba Chute Systems, poorly engineered chute systems can have a disproportionate impact on plant performance, influencing everything from material flow
Marnus Koorts, general manager – Original Equipment at Weir, explains that the company’s dominance rests not only on the quality of its pumping solutions but on a full value chain approach that mitigates risk for mine operators at every stage.
South African OEM specialising in the design and manufacture of overhead cranes and hoists, Condra, will be celebrating its 60th anniversary on 24 June.
A collaboration between Probe IMT and Optix to bring innovative safety technologies to mining operations within the southern African region has been announced. This partnership will address critical challenges in fleet safety and operations through monitoring, coaching and behaviour management.
Africa’s mines are under pressure to produce more, spend less and meet stricter environmental and safety standards. New blasting technology is stepping in to meet that challenge.
