Contract mining for landowners
You hold the ground. We bring the plant, the crew and, where it's needed, the mining licence. Direkt Miners works mineral land on behalf of its owners, from first sampling through to saleable product.
How we work
Most landowners who contact us are missing one of three things: the capital for plant, the experience to run a pit or quarry, or the licence to start. Often it's all three.
We take on the operating side in full: excavation, load-and-haul, washing and processing, and the people to run it.
Plant is chosen for the deposit in front of us. A limestone quarry and a copper pit need different equipment and different operators, and we staff each one accordingly.
Copper, iron ore, limestone and oil make up most of our work. We'll look at other commodities where the ground justifies it.
Take one of these, or all of them.
Excavators, haul trucks, crushing and washing plant, sized to the deposit. For owners who hold title but not the capital to equip a site.
Operators and site management who know the commodity on your land. The site runs to a production plan from the first shift.
If a mining licence still has to be secured, we work the application with you so production starts on a permitted basis.
Where nobody knows yet what the ground holds, our team maps, samples and assays it before anyone commits.
Our test for every site
Before we sign a partnership, we cost the whole operation: extraction, processing, haulage and the landowner's share. The deposit has to support selling its product at 10% below the live world market price. If it doesn't, we tell the owner and step back.
Site investigation
Send us the location and anything you know about it: old workings, a neighbouring quarry, a geological survey, a sample you had tested years ago. Our investigation team will map, sample and assay the ground.
If the results support a mine and you choose to go ahead, Direkt Miners takes the mining rights and operates the site. You keep ownership of the land and receive a share of the earnings.
Where it is, roughly how big, what you think is there, and what you're missing: plant, people, a licence, or just an answer.
