MATERIALS HANDLING
Te benefits of low-cost, portable localised logistics are obvious. Miners can retrieve far more ore in a much shorter time and, thanks to its modular design, the system can help them reach hard to access areas without the need to destroy local habitats to improve access.
A NEW PARTNERSHIP Now that Miniveyor has laid the groundwork and demonstrated a commitment to improving the ASM sector, a new partnership with the British company, Shondilo Gold Mining Ventures, intends to capitalise on that success and offer project management and consulting services to small-scale operations looking to make the leap to the next level. With vast experience in the ASM marketplace, the Shondilo team is ideally placed to help raise standards across the board and assist ambitious operators to achieve the recognition and growth they deserve. For too long the world has treated the
With guidance, the ASM sector can match the standards of the corporate sector
artisanal and small-scale mining industry like some street urchin and not like the global concern it has grown to become. Shondilo aims to break that stigma and
even the playing field for all players in the mining world. We all know the world’s hunger for
precious metals is growing and it’s time the biggest player was invited to the table. With a little guidance, respect, and common sense, the ASM sector can match the health and safety and sustainability standards of the corporate sector and help pull millions out of poverty in the process. Shondilo will continue its efforts to assist small mining operations in any way it can. Whether that help comes in the form of new technology such as Miniveyor or targeted project management, business advice and consultancy services is a moot point; the fact is it aims to help. Other organisations, companies and even governments are also showing similar commitments to helping the ASM get its feet out of the mire. So, isn’t it time we started treating this exciting industry with the respect it deserves?
