It is ten years since Business Excellence first visited Ambatovy Joint Venture Project in Madagascar. At that time, the mine was still at the preparatory phase, albeit with serious ambition. With total funding for the project crossing the $5.5 billion threshold, it was, and remains to this day, the largest investment in Madagascar’s history, and has contributed nearly a quarter of the country’s tax revenues since it become operational.


 

Located 355 kilometres east of Burkina Faso’s capital, Ouagadougou, the Boungou mine is the fifth largest mine in the West African country, which is making a name for itself as a serious player in the global gold market. Gold production in Burkina Faso has been on a fast upward trend over the past decade, growing from 22 million ounces in 2010 to 58 million ounces in 2020. At the time of writing, production growth shows no sign of stopping.

 


Statistics provided by Senegal’s National Agency of Statistics and Demography (ANSD) show that the West African country’s merchandise exports grew almost three-fold between 2009 and 2019, the period before the Covid-19 pandemic. Although this growth can be attributed to several factors, perhaps none deserves more credit than the arrival of DP World at Port Autonome de Dakar in 2007.

The name Jamaica derives from Xaymaca – a term meaning “land of wood and water” - which was given to the island by its first inhabitants, the Taino. While the face of Jamaica has changed irrevocably since those times, the name at least hints at the potential that the country has to deliver water access to its population. The National Water Commission (NWC) Jamaica is the organization tasked with delivering on this goal.

TORO ARRIVES AT GEITA GOLD MINE - TANZANIA
 

Sandvik is a global, high-technology engineering group providing solutions that enhance productivity, profitability and sustainability for the mining, and infrastructure industries.
 

Sandvik Mining and Construction Tanzania Limited, is one of the first major OEMs to establish a base in Tanzania in 2000. Since then, Sandvik has established its customer base with all the major mining companies in Tanzania mainly in and around the Lake Zone Area. These Customers include among others AngloGold Ashanti’s Geita Gold Mine, Barminco’s AUMS, Barrick Gold’s Bulyanhulu Mine and North Mara Mine, and Shanta Gold Mine and Taifa Mining formerly known as Caspian.
 

Geita Gold Mine together with its main production partner AUMS, have ordered several Sandvik “Toro” LH621i Loaders and TH663i Dump Trucks for use at Geita Gold Mine. The new equipment which is manufactured in Turku, Finland, has already started to be delivered to site.   
 

Both Geita Gold Mine and AUMS and part of larger global operations and have Global relationship agreements with Sandvik but have been using Competitor Loaders and Trucks in Tanzania. Sandvik Tanzania was only supplying underground development drills and production drills and Sandvik drilling consumables.
 

Sandvik operates a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) onsite and a drilling consumables contract support.
 

Sandvik has carried out detailed studies with the LH621i and TH663i combination confirmed that we are able to save Geita Gold Mine operations by up to 30% on operational costs relating to ore movement in the segment of our truck and loader operations.
 

It suffices to say the loader and truck combination covers the entire customer value chain based on extensive investments in research and development, customer insights and deep knowledge of industrial processes and digital solutions.
 

The Fuel-efficient Stage II / Tier 2 Volvo engines installed in these Units, offer long engine lifetime and low cost of ownership. The loader and truck’s low weight, efficient engine technology, fast ramp speeds for short cycle times and up to 25% lower fuel consumption compared to competition, result in low cost per hauled ton. Reduced fuel consumption also supports reduction of CO2 emissions.

 

The LH621i Loader was delivered to site automation ready.
 

With this combination of the Toro LH621i and the Toro TH663i Dump Truck Sandvik moves the Tonnage !

Gold mining in Tanzania goes back to the end of the 19th century, when gold mines were discovered close to Lake Victoria. After several more finds over the course of the 20th century, a culture of gold mining took hold in the country. When the mines were privatized at the end of the 1980s, it opened the door to many of the world’s most highly-regarded mineral mining companies arrived in Tanzania.
