Shallow underground (less than 1,000m below surface) in gold, platinum, chrome, copper, nickel, manganese, iron ore, diamond and coal mines

Integrated mining projects

Turgis prefers to take on integrated project assignments. Whilst our people are all professionals in their own specific discipline, the fact that most of them have extensive operational experience makes them well-rounded mine engineers as well.

We also have dedicated skilled professionals in the fields of modelling, simulation, scheduling, planning and mine risk and safety. Turgis will readily take on full EPCM responsibility for projects that we have studied and brought to shareholders accounts.
