Overview
SMS Mining drives the development of underground operations from concept to completion.
We manage every stage — from drilling and blasting to reclamation and shaft restoration — with precision, safety, and efficiency at the core. Our teams combine deep technical expertise with modern mechanised methods to open new production areas, restore ageing shafts, and shape the mines of tomorrow.
Our Scope of Services include:
Mining Development | Drilling & Blasting
Precision drilling and blasting operations that ensure controlled excavation, optimal fragmentation and high production efficiency. Designed to minimise overbreak and maintain safe working conditions underground.
Footwall Lifting
Enhances mine design and ore access through precise excavation and stabilisation techniques, improving flexibility and safety in complex geological conditions.
Underground Construction
Our underground construction services include excavation, Construction of Refuge Bays and Waiting Places, Whitewash and Construction of Ventilation Walls. We deliver structurally sound solutions that integrate seamlessly with ongoing production
Conveyor Construction & Maintenance
Design, build and maintenance of underground conveyor systems that improve material-handling efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness while reducing downtime.
Specialised Blasting
Controlled blasting for confined, high-risk or precision environments using advanced techniques to reduce vibration and prioritise safety.
Shaft Restoration
Rehabilitation and re-equipping of shafts to extend operational life. Services include lining repairs, reinforcement and structural modernisation for optimal performance.
Opening up & Making Safe
Assessment and stabilisation of inactive or newly accessed workings to guarantee safe entry and operation. Safety remains the top priority at every stage.
