About Us

We Are Leading International Company In The World

Formed in 2010 to help small scale miners with amongst others, to write business plans and access funding for its members, train members in safe mining techniques., help legalize the rampant illegal mining activities.

Globally, developing countries are more endowed with natural resources as minerals as compared to developed countries. According to the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (1994), mining is a process of extracting minerals underneath the surface using mechanical methods such as rock blasting. Artificial versions of minerals, including emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, gold, and other valuable gemstones, are regularly produced in industrial and research facilities and are often nearly identical to their natural counterparts. To understand the term ‘rock blasting’ the work of Langefors and Kihlstrom (1963:18) is used. They explain that rock blasting is the process of using explosives underground to create holes in rocks containing ore. Ore is the accumulation of minerals concentrated underground which are suitable for economic exploitation (Wills, 1997:4; Moon, Whateley & Evans, 2006:3).
