            <title>Cementation Africa guides mines safely to steady state production</title>
            <link>https://newsletter-mw.creamermedia.com/article/cementation-africa-guides-mines-safely-to-steady-state-production-2026-01-30</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Transitioning from development to steady state production remains one of the most challenging phases in a mine’s lifecycle. Whether it involves a greenfield project, expansion or conversion from opencast to underground, this stage typically includes shaft sinking, raise drilling and mine development, activities that carry significant technical and operational risks. Underground mining contractor Cementation Africa’s specialist expertise in underground mining allows clients to navigate these early stages with confidence. With more than 50 years of experience, the company undertakes the full scope of development work, from shaft and decline establishment to ore reserve expansion and extraction. This capability is particularly valuable for mining companies lacking in-house training, infrastructure or resources to begin operations independently.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Since Level 9 vehicle intervention for collision avoidance became mandatory on South African mines in 2022, mine safety equipment manufacturer Booyco Electronics has continued to lead the way in proximity detection system (PDS) technology and implementation. Despite the availability of mature and proven technology, industry-wide adoption has been slower than anticipated, primarily owing to limited operational readiness rather than technical constraints. The Level 9 requirements enforce automatic vehicle slowdown or stopping through engineering controls on trackless mining machines, preventing machine-to-pedestrian and machine-to-machine collisions. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) supplier Booyco Engineering, with over 40 years of expertise, is a leader in climate control solutions for South Africa’s mining and quarrying sectors, where dust, heat and toxic gases pose major health risks. As the Mine Health and Safety Act mandates safe working conditions, the industry is shifting from reactive to proactive management of environmental hazards, with increased focus on monitoring and controlling worker exposure. In these demanding environments, machine operators often work in enclosed cabs for long periods. Booyco Engineering’s HVAC systems are engineered to safeguard operator health while ensuring compliance with global standards, including ISO 23875, which governs cab air quality. This standard requires the delivery of fresh filtered air with positive pressurisation to prevent contaminated air ingress and effective control of CO2 levels.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The future of African mining will not be defined solely by how much the continent can extract, but by what it builds, retains and passes on through value creation, says MetCon MD Grant Crosse. One of the most advanced precious-metals refineries in South Africa, the company recently hosted its annual MineShift event at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, ahead of the Investing in African Mining Indaba, in Cape Town, which Crosse described as strategic and deliberate. The event is designed to shape the week’s agenda before conversations turn fully to capital allocation, policy direction and upstream production. While Mining Indaba traditionally focuses on extraction and investment flows, MineShift positions beneficiation and downstream participation as foundational – not secondary – to Africa’s mining future.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Weba Chute Systems is world-renowned for ensuring that its custom-engineered chutes add immediate and signiﬁcant value to customers’ proﬁtability, uptime and on-site health and safety. The company’s scientific approach to the dynamics of bulk materials handling at transfer points has been ﬁne-tuned over decades of experience, with its success demonstrated in over 5 000 chutes installed globally.  A key principle at the heart of Weba designs is controlled ﬂow, ensuring longer wear life of chutes and components, more uptime, less dust and less noise. Chute solutions are conﬁ- gured to control the direction, ﬂow and velocity of the required volume and type of material. With this customised approach, technical teams analyse the speciﬁcs of application including through-put requirements, the material’s size and shape, and the belt’s width and speed. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In mining and exploration, performance is measured in outcomes — metres drilled, uptime maintained and programmes delivered safely and efficiently. In some of the world’s most demanding environments, particularly across Africa, contractors are increasingly looking beyond brand names alone and focusing on capability, engineering depth and long-term reliability. This is where drilling equipment supplier Feaver Group has carved out its position. By combining the global manufacturing strength of Hyundai Everdigm drilling rigs with the Australian-engineered precision of Feaver Tools, Feaver Group delivers drilling solutions that are purpose-built for real-world conditions, engineered to perform in remote and demanding environments. “Simply better isn’t a slogan for us,” says Feaver Group Australia MD Richard Stickland. “It’s about building equipment that works harder, lasts longer, is reliable when it matters, and is supported by people who actually understand drilling.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mining companies across South Africa invest significant resources in enterprise and supplier development (ESD), yet supplier failure rates remain persistently high. Many small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) enter mining value chains with ambition, technical skill and drive, only to struggle once contracts are secured and operational pressures intensify. This is often framed as a capacity issue at SMME level. In reality, it is more frequently a failure of programme design. The broader context for supplier development in South Africa is sobering. Up to 70% of SMMEs fail within their first two years, highlighting the fragility many businesses face even before engaging with complex corporate value chains. Despite yearly ESD investment estimated at R20-billion to R30-billion, research points to limited emphasis on long-term sustainability outcomes – reinforcing the need for programmes that build readiness, not just spend.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa has a significant number of legacy tailings storage facilities (TSFs) which were developed during periods of far less stringent legislation which was later developed to protect communities, the environment and the national water resource. These facilities were designed and often constructed on dolomitic foundations which allowed for natural drainage which promoted consolidation, improving stability of the facility. Mineral processing technologies of the time were far less efficient than what is available today. These legacy facilities still contain sufficient resources to allow for reprocessing to extract further value, but at mining costs far lower than for normal mining operations.  Further, these facilities were often not rehabilitated to modern standards.]]></description>
