Morris Plays a Key Role in One of the World's Largest Copper Mining Operations I Unpack the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Cobalt Market Prospects

Water reuse & recovery – a lifeline for SA's mining sector

With many of South Africa's mining sites located in water-scarce regions, efficient water reuse is becoming a question of survival for mines. Efficient water reuse is a crucial strategy for survival and sustainable operations. The Water Research Commission (WRC) has highlighted this issue, emphasising the importance of water reuse schemes to address the country's projected water deficit.

African Mining Week 2025 to Unpack the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Cobalt Market Prospects, Global SignificanceAs the Democratic Republic of the Congo seeks to maximize the financial and economic returns from its cobalt reserves – considered some of the largest worldwide -, the upcoming African Mining Week will spotlight the country's expanding investment opportunities across the cobalt value chain.

Standards and quality signal evolution of DRC miningThe growing impact of mining on the broader economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is now clear to all who visit the country, especially in those cities like Lubumbashi and Kolwezi. Indeed, even the steady expansion of the DRC Mining Week is a sign that the minerals sector is now central to the country's economy and its economic future.
In addition to DRC's leading position as a copper and cobalt producer, there is now also scope for it to become a significant player in the lithium market. The Manono-Kitotolo project alone is reported to contain 120 million tons of lithium ore; at a grade of 0,6%, this could produce 720,000 tons of lithium. Tailings from historical tin mining at Manono are calculated to add considerably to this estimate.

Test the best: how demo trucks help customers choose Rokbak with confidence

Equipment demonstrations play a crucial role in Rokbak securing new customers. As part of a customer-focused approach, demonstrator articulated hauler units not only help potential partners make informed, confident decisions, but also ensure they are supported with the right industry knowledge to successfully integrate Rokbak trucks into their earth-moving operations.

Africa Day casts spotlight on resilient projects, economies

With Africa Day on 25 May highlighting the importance of building resilient economies for social transformation, the nurturing of consulting engineering expertise across various disciplines will be vital to paving a path to inclusive growth.

Enhancing project design with more efficient haulage and materials handling
When engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms plan new mining projects or expansions, the cost of mine development, system installation and operating the materials handling system is front-of-mind – and this is where hybrid technologies like Railveyor attract growing interest.
