"WSP Brasil is becoming increasingly significant for the mining sector and we are expanding our operations here, especially in critical minerals alongside iron ore."
"By applying ore sorting, we can build a smaller mill to process only the high-grade fraction, maintaining production rates but at a reduced cost. This approach supports a minimum 30-year mine life."
"The CAT 798, our 400-ton electric drive truck, is performing outstandingly in six world-class copper mines in Peru. This year, more units of this model arrived and more will come, reflecting our customers’ endorsement and preference."
"We worked for two decades in the locomotive maintenance program with Codelco and have not lost any time to accidents. Considering we provide around 120,000 man hours annually, that is over 2 million man hours without accidents."
"Service providers, as specialized private companies, possess a unique advantage in identifying areas to enhance operations, particularly with environmental improvements in mind."
"By combining greater volumes, we can provide better pricing above discount from the end-supplier in each region, as well as increasing our top line and net revenue."
MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide
It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
