Contract Opencast Mining Services Information

The current emerging mining market in South Africa is one in which medium to smaller reserves are being explored. Owners of these reserves are not necessarily familiar with or connected to the mining industry, hence the need for a one-stop-mining-service. To service these, Contract Opencast Mining Services ("COMS") has established the following service delivery divisions: - Exploration drilling; - Opencast mining and Environmental Rehabilitation; - Materials handling; - Civil construction; - Equipment rental; and - Lowbed transport logistics. A strategic alliance with other support services companies also allow services such as geology, mine planning and product beneficiation to be offered as an in-house capability. COMS has established a management structure which is highly competent and well experienced in their fields. This allows for effective management and, therefore, efficient mining of small to medium – typically complex – resource deposits.
