Our Pillars

Mining

AECI is a leading partner in making mining safer and more efficient for a better world. This is done through virtual reality training and blast simulation as well as the creation of a “digital twin” of customers’ operations and on-site management of their mineral extraction chemical processes. Changing the face of mining through innovation and highly specialised R&D has been top of mind since the company was founded as a supplier of explosives, accessories and services more than 120 years ago.

Our Strategic Imperative

Safer and more efficient mining for a better world

Through AECI Mining Explosives and AECI Mining Chemicals, a three-way partnership with the customer now covers the full value chain – from surfactants for explosives manufacture, initiating systems and cutting-edge blasting solutions, right through to chemicals for ore beneficiation and tailings treatment. The offering as a whole makes a tangible difference in terms of energy maximisation, beneficiation, the environment and safety.

The integration of these industry leading offerings is a reinvention of who we are, what we do and how we do it. AECI Mining is a holistic provider of choice to the mining industry across all our chosen markets in Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe and South America.

From our roots as a supplier of explosives over 120 years ago, innovation and cutting-edge R&D have always been at the heart of how we’re reshaping the future of mining.
