            <description><![CDATA[When a slope fails in an open-pit mine, the consequences extend far beyond a production shutdown. Lives are at risk, equipment is threatened, and the operational credibility of an entire site can be called into question. It is precisely this reality that has driven M84 Geotech (Pty) Ltd to build what its founder describes as not just a service company, but a geo-hazard mitigation partner for mining operations across Africa. Founded and led by South African entrepreneur and (Chief Executive Steward) CES, Khomotso Moleke, M84 Geotech has spent over eleven years and more than 40 completed projects establishing itself as one of the continent's most trusted names in rockfall protection and slope stabilisation for open-pit mines.

            <title>Maptek showcases real-time slope monitoring technology at Slope Stability X26</title>

            <description><![CDATA[In open-pit mining, the difference between a managed risk and a catastrophic failure often comes down to one variable: time. How early can a geotechnical team detect that a slope is moving? How quickly can that movement data be interpreted, escalated, and acted upon? For mines that rely on periodic manual surveys or legacy monitoring instrumentation, the answer to both questions is often: not early enough. Maptek™, the global mining technology company exhibiting at the Slope Stability X26 Conference and Expo on 10 and 11 September 2026 at the Garden Venue in Johannesburg, is challenging that status quo with its laser-based slope monitoring system, Maptek Sentry. By enabling continuous, real-time detection of ground movement at millimetre-level precision, Sentry is shifting geotechnical risk management from a reactive discipline into a proactive, data-driven practice.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Small-to-medium-sized mines remain a critical part of South Africa’s mining sector and are often required to manage the same complex safety, compliance, and workforce training obligations as larger operations, while operating within different resource, infrastructure, and capacity models. Employing roughly 500 to 2000 people, many of these operations are now under growing pressure to meet evolving Section 10 requirements under the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA), particularly around practical competency, induction quality, and fatal-risk preparedness.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Africa is not short of opportunity, however it is short of reliability. Across mining operations, agricultural holdings, construction sites, manufacturing plants, forestry concessions and more, one of the greatest threats to productivity, alongside market conditions or commodity prices, is (and always has been) unplanned equipment failure and the hours lost waiting for someone to fix it. Pirtek Africa has been building its business around this reality. As the continent’s leading hydraulic hose and fitting service provider, Pirtek Africa exists to keep Africa’s industries moving not by simply selling a product, but by delivering a solution: fast, expert, mobile or on-site support that gets equipment back into operation and keeps it there.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[There are few sectors where the margin for error is as narrow as it is in geohazard protection for active mining operations. Rockfall barriers that underperform, mesh systems that fail to arrest a slope movement, or monitoring solutions that miss a critical displacement event — the consequences of any of these failures are measured not just in monetary losses but in human lives. Geobrugg, a Swiss-headquartered protection systems specialist with more than 70 years of industry history, has built ...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[When the going gets tough, the pros find new business. The global solar market has experienced several major growth years, adding 618 Gigawatt peak (GWp) in 2025. However, this is a slower pace than in previous years. Even in South Africa, where the solar market added 1.6 GW in 2025 over 2024’s 1.1 GW, that is still a slowdown compared to 2023’s 2.4 GW (Global Solar Council) as systems integrators and installers run into various barriers. "The demand is still there, but it's not as simple as before," an installer remarked at a recent local solar event, speaking off the record. "Loadshedding is not as big a concern as it was, so there is less urgency to install solar systems. Prices are also higher than before. People want solar systems, but they ask a lot more questions and look for more value."]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa’s mining industry is moving digital transformation from abstract ambition to practical application. The sector’s priorities are clear: safer underground working environments, better visibility of people and assets, faster emergency response and more integrated mine management. Information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure provider Huawei South Africa’s OpenLab, located inside the Huawei Innovation Centre at its Woodmead campus in Johannesburg, is helping bring that future closer to the local industry. Established as a practical environment for customers, partners, software developers and local technology companies, the OpenLab allows mining companies to experience, test, and co-create digital mining solutions before considering deployment in their own operations. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Implementing Proximity Detection Systems (PDS) in underground mines is far more complex than placing sensors on machines. Confined spaces, mixed fleets, communication constraints and human behaviour all shape how effective a system can be. Booyco Electronics is addressing these realities with a focus on integration, data acquisition and the intelligent use of AI. One of the most persistent challenges underground is integrating PDS with multiple OEMs and third‑party interface suppliers. While the ISO 21815 standard sets out how systems should interact, practice often differs from theory.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Multotec has supplied a range of high-performance spiral equipment to the Thaba JV chromite and Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) project in South Africa’s Limpopo province. The integrated processing solution is designed to enhance recovery, improve product quality, and maintain the operational flexibility needed to support the plant’s long-term performance objectives. The Thaba JV is a 50:50 partnership between Sylvania Platinum’s wholly owned South African subsidiary, Sylvania Metals, and Limberg Mining Company, a subsidiary of ChromTech Mining. Located near the town of Thabazimbi in the northern part of the PGM- and chromite-rich Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex, the project integrates chrome mining with a high-efficiency processing plant capable of treating multiple ore streams. These include run-of-mine (RoM) middle group chrome ore from the opencast Limberg chrome mine and some 2 million tons of current and historic chrome tailings, to produce chromite and PGM concentrates.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[For many operations across mining, quarrying, bulk materials handling and processing industries, conveyor problems have become an accepted part of daily operations. Misalignment, carryback, spillage, belt damage, idler wear and unplanned stoppages are often treated as isolated maintenance issues, addressed through reactive component replacement before operations move on to the next failure. According to conveyor specialist Tru-Trac Rollers (Pty) Ltd, this approach is one of the primary reasons why conveyor failures continue to repeat across the industry.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Breaking into the aggregates and sand market has never been easy for small operators. High upfront capital costs, long equipment lead times and the technical risk of stitching together multiple plant components have historically placed modern sand production out of reach for many start-up quarries. In response to this challenge, Pilot Crushtec has fundamentally rethought how smaller producers can access proven sand-making technology - without taking on disproportionate financial or operational risk. Rather than forcing new entrants to choose between unreliable second-hand machinery or costly bespoke plant builds, Pilot Crushtec’s Pilot Modular Sand Making Plants are designed to remove friction at every stage of the start-up journey. From engineering and manufacturing through to installation, commissioning and aftersales support, the modular range is purpose-built to shorten timelines, control costs and give emerging quarries a reliable platform from day one.]]></description>
