Services

Strategic partnerships in mining, built from the plant up.

Three practices, one approach: understand the technology deeply, then make the commercial case clearly.

01

Growth & Market Entry

For OEMs, technology and service providers

You have engineered something that genuinely improves recovery, uptime or cost per tonne. The market does not know yet. As a mining business development consultant in South Africa with a metallurgist's training, I sit between your engineering team and the people who sign purchase orders, and make the case in both languages.

EngagementMonthly retainer, typically with a three-month minimum so the pipeline has time to mature.

How we work & FAQ
  • Fractional business development

    A senior commercial lead in your corner, without the full-time hire. Pipeline building, account strategy and follow-through.

  • Africa market entry

    Mining market entry in Africa for European and American OEMs: where to start, who to talk to, which channel partners are worth the paperwork.

  • Lead generation & qualification

    Fewer, better conversations. Qualified opportunities with real budgets, real ore and real timelines.

  • Strategic partnerships

    Distributor, agency, EPCM and integration partnerships structured to move product, not just sign MOUs.

  • Conference & trade-show strategy

    Which events earn their stand fee, who to book meetings with before you fly, and what happens after.

  • Positioning & competitor mapping

    A clear read on where you win, where you don't, and the sentence that makes a plant manager lean in.

  • Technical-to-commercial sales enablement

    Turning datasheets and testwork into business cases, ROI stories and proposals that procurement can approve.

Content, Influence & Activations

For brands that want technical products seen

Mining has a visibility problem. Brilliant equipment hides behind dull brochures. I create content that engineers actually watch, and conference moments people talk about over dinner, from the inside of an industry I know by name.

EngagementPartnership retainers with limited, non-competing partner slots: four to five partners per year, so each one gets real attention and category exclusivity.

How we work & FAQ
  • Industry content partnerships

    Short-form video, interviews and LinkedIn content that explain your technology clearly, credibly and without the jargon fog.

  • Conference activations

    A robot-assisted content experience on the show floor: a new kind of mining conversation that draws a crowd and captures it on camera.

  • Speaking & MC work

    Keynotes, panels and MC duties for mining conferences, technical forums and industry dinners.

  • Curated industry events

    Intimate, well-hosted gatherings that bring the right mix of operators, OEMs and investors into one room.

Projects & Partnerships

For junior miners and project owners

Good projects stall for avoidable reasons: thin testwork, an unclear flowsheet, the wrong first conversation with a funder. I help junior mining partnerships in Africa get the technical story straight before it meets money, and then make the introductions that move it forward.

EngagementCase by case, depending on project stage and scope. Every engagement begins with a confidential Opportunity Desk submission.

How we work & FAQ
  • Opportunity screening

    A frank first read on whether a project is ready for partners, and what would make it so.

  • Due diligence coordination

    Technical-commercial due diligence coordinated with the right independent specialists.

  • Testwork & flowsheet review

    Metallurgical testwork coordination and flowsheet review by someone who has stood next to the equipment.

  • Tailings, dumps & stockpiles

    Tailings reprocessing in South Africa and beyond: assessing whether yesterday's waste is today's ore body.

  • Introductions

    Warm introductions to equipment partners, offtakers and funders who fit your stage and commodity.

Let's open the next opportunity.

Whether you build the equipment, own the project or run the event, the conversation starts the same way.
