Leading local innovation at the heart of gold and PGM miner’s mechanization drive
CMTI Group’s state-of-the-art patented technology is a critical component of Sibanye Resources’ drive to mechanize its South African gold and platinum-group metal (PGM) operations — a transition that will lead to safer mining, while extending the life of operations, bolstering productivity levels and unlocking significant value for shareholders.
The South African original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) cutting-edge MT 100 and MT 1000 ultra-low platforms (ULPs) are part of the mining house’s Stope-Mechanization Program. Registered as a “quick-win” project at the Phakisa Innovation Hub, they are playing their part in helping the mining house extract a percentage of the 2.2-million ounces (oz) contained within the strike and dip pillars without inducing excessive seismicity, or dramatically impacting regional stability.
