African Mining Services

It gives us great pleasure to share this news with you. Our sister company Barminco was recognised for the impact their Somelo Poultry Project had in Botswana’s rural community. The project is just one example of where Perenti’s operations in Africa are contributing to the economic and social welfare of the communities in which we operate.   We also extend our congratulations to So They Can, a non-for-profit organisation supporting girls in challenging environments in across Africa. Congratulations on winning the Changemaker Award, which was proudly sponsored by Perenti. #community #botswana

AMS and Ausdrill have joined forces to upgrade an Epiroc D65 at the Canning Vale Workshop, to enhance grade control drilling operations at AMS’ Motheo mine in Botswana. Kebaneetswe Nnyenyiwa, AMS Drill Maintenance Specialist, has spent some time in Perth working with the Ausdrill Maintenance team on this upgrade. In addition to the replacement of major components and minor refurbishment, the D65 has been fitted with a Metzke Grade Control Sampling system to add further capability to our team in Motheo and to further support our client, Sandfire Resources. With accurate high-quality sampling, increased efficiency and accuracy, this drill will further compliment the fleet at Motheo. Keba has had many key takeaways from his time at Ausdrill, and is excited to see the benefits that the upgraded Epiroc D65 will bring to the Motheo Operation in Botswana. #SmarterTogether #Collaboration #GlobalOpportunities 

A warm welcome to our new Maintenance Manager at Motheo, Tlamelo Rapata, who has hit the ground running. Tlamelo (pictured centre) recently visited operations in Senegal and Ghana to meet the AMS teams. Reflecting our principle of ‘Smarter Together’ Tlamelo is always looking to identify synergies across our African sites, so we can continue to deliver value and certainty for our clients into the future.

The African Mining Services team at Mako operations are excited to be replacing one of the existing Integrated Tool Carriers, after purchasing a low hour CAT 962M Integrated Tool Carriers from the BTP Group Perth hire Fleet. When sourcing a replacement began, the AMS team reached out to BTP to see if they had any suitable options available. BTP were able to assist, preparing the 962M for its journey from Perth to Senegal, departing December.   An exemplary instance of working Smarter Together across the Perenti Group whilst continuing to deliver certainty for our clients. #AMS #BTP #Perenti #SmarterTogether #Fleet #CAT

Mohammed Tei Tetteh, Tyre Superintendent, Ghana African Mining Services, recently spent a month in Perth attending high level training at Bridgestone Mining Solutions Australia and RIMEX Australia as part of a program supported by AMS and Perenti. Mohammed was also able to spend time working alongside and collaborating with the Performance Asset Management team. In doing so, he’s been able to gain valuable insight to regular operational functions and longer-term strategic planning vital to our future success. Adding to Mohammed’s extensive experience, with the extra training, he will be able to take this new knowledge back to the local workforce in Africa along with newly acquired skills in systems and processes within the business. Mohammed joined AMS in 2011 and was impressed with the support offered for upskilling in the business.  “I really enjoyed the course and appreciate the opportunity to upskill in this area and take the knowledge back to the local operations in Africa. It’s a very valuable program and opportunity to share processes across Perenti.”   #AMS #Perenti #Careers #Maintenance #Mining #Training #AssetManagement #SmarterTogether
