MINROM: Services for copper mines
MINROM Consulting is a leading mineral resource management company in South Africa. It has a dedicated team of geologists knowledgeable in copper mining that can provide crucial decision-making services for copper mines in the copper regions of Africa.
MINROM’s services range from Greenfield exploration and 3-dimensional geological block modelling to resource estimation and the on-site implementation of geological models and required grade control modelling.
Additionally, the company assists mines in the planning and execution of resource and grade-control drilling programmes, allowing for accurate mine planning, grade control, gangue acid consumption optimisation, and, ultimately, metal recovery.
“MINROM can aid copper mines in Africa with on-site services. We have identified pitfalls and bottlenecks that occur during the execution of exploration programmes and mining projects. We can therefore optimise the mining processes during the early stages of mine development.”
Years of experience, combined with a professional team of scientists and a good relationship with service providers over the entire value chain, have ensured that MINROM’s services to mines in the copper industry have eclipsed that of its competitors.
Furthermore, the on-site grade control and blending programmes maximise resource output and provide reconciliation factors to analyse production limitations and optimise production planning. In addition, MINROM develops and implements mine production control systems and SHE management systems.
“The on-site team quantifies the geological loss factors and the management thereof, greatly increasing ore yield and quality while reducing rework and dilution. We establish on-site laboratories and implement quality assurance and quality-control procedures to maximise grade control and optimise the production chain while limiting costs.”
“Having a team that can professionally manage mineral resources and identify shortcomings in the chain of production greatly improves the profitability and longevity of all mining projects.”
MINROM has actively been working in the Northern Cape, Namibia and in the DRC on several iron, manganese and copper projects since 2010.
MINROM supports its clients on site by means of a rotation system and ensures continuity on the grade control process.
