Miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo are seeking a delay to a government directive requiring them to grant a 5% equity stake to Congolese employees, while unions are pushing for immediate enforcement ahead of a July 31 deadline, according to a document and three industry sources. No company has yet complied with the directive, […]

Every quarry operator in Peru faces the same dilemma. You need a crushing plant that delivers high throughput, produces consistent gradation, and withstands the abrasive nature of Andean rock. But you also have a budget to protect. The price of stone crusher Peru suppliers quote can vary by 40% or more between different brands and […]

Mining projects are among the most demanding construction environments in the world. Whether it is an open-pit mine, underground tunnel, or mineral processing facility, every stage of development requires strong, durable, and continuously supplied concrete. In recent years, mining companies have increasingly adopted ready mix concrete batching plants to improve construction speed, reduce logistics challenges, […]

The mining industry is rapidly evolving through digital transformation, and one of the most impactful innovations driving this change is drone technology. From exploration to site monitoring, drones are redefining how data is collected, processed, and applied in mining workflows. Platforms like MiningDoc are increasingly highlighting how digital tools are improving documentation, compliance, and operational efficiency […]

For quarry owners and aggregate producers, production lines are the backbone of the business. But equipment ages, technology advances, and market demands shift. The question that every operator eventually faces is whether to continue maintaining an existing aggregate plant or invest capital in a significant upgrade. New crushers, screens, and conveyors carry substantial price tags, […]

Gold production in Ivory Coast is expected to increase to 62 metric tons in 2026 from 59.33 tons last year as existing gold mines continue to ramp up production, reported the country’s director general of mines to Reuters. It will continue to increase to 63 tons in 2027 and approximately 69 tons in 2028, he […]

The collaboration between SigraFi, a UK-based provider of responsibly sourced gold, and PeaceGold Trading Company seeks to increase the amount of traceable artisanal gold supplied by the eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the international market, as well as to provide financing opportunities for small-scale miners. This agreement will see SigraFi […]

In mining and aggregate production projects, stable concrete foundations are essential for supporting crushers, conveyors, screening systems, and other heavy equipment that operate under continuous dynamic loads. Understanding ready mix concrete plant cost is therefore an important part of project planning, as it directly affects the budget for constructing durable infrastructure capable of withstanding harsh […]

In modern mining operations, efficiency is no longer defined only by how much material is extracted from the ground, but also by how much valuable ore can be recovered and processed with minimal loss. As mineral deposits become deeper, more complex, and geographically challenging, mining companies are increasingly relying on advanced equipment such as the […]

On-site material processing reduces operational expenses and simplifies construction logistics. Modern contractors increasingly combine rock crushing with immediate concrete production on the same site. This comprehensive technical guide analyzes how to execute this dual process effectively. Understanding the Dual Processing Workflow The synchronized workflow begins with raw material extraction directly from your site. Next, a […]

Energy costs are rising across South America, and Peru is no exception. Diesel prices fluctuate unpredictably. Electricity rates in industrial zones have climbed steadily over the past three years. For mine and quarry operators, the crushing stage is often the largest consumer of energy on site. This reality is driving a significant shift toward energy-saving […]

Costa Rica’s construction and infrastructure sectors are growing fast, requiring a steady supply of high-grade construction aggregates. However, quarry operators across the country face a major geological challenge: processing highly abrasive volcanic basalt. Basalt is famous for its extreme hardness and high silica content, which subjects crushing machinery to intense mechanical wear. Processing this tough […]

Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing a massive infrastructure boom driven by Vision 2030. Major projects like NEOM and Riyadh expansion require immense volumes of high-quality aggregates. Therefore, the demand for local rock processing facilities remains exceptionally strong. Deploying these systems successfully requires a deep understanding of unique regional challenges. This guide examines how operators can […]
