Mining Logistics Operations
Course Overview
This three-day programme covers the logistics operations that support mining activities across Africa, from remote open-pit operations to deep underground mines. Mining logistics presents unique challenges including remote locations, heavy equipment requirements, bulk material volumes, and the need for reliable supply chains that keep operations running 24/7.
Participants will learn about mine-to-port supply chains, equipment and consumable supply logistics, bulk material handling, and the infrastructure considerations for mining operations in African locations with limited transport networks. The programme draws on case studies from South African gold and platinum mines, Zambian copper operations, and DRC cobalt mining.
