Overview
Heroncon is a pit‑to‑plant mining contractor that owns and operates a complete, mobile production train. We combine in‑house geology, mine planning, drill‑and‑blast, load‑and‑haul, and modular crushing & screening to give clients a single accountable partner. Our model slashes mobilisation time, lowers capex, and keeps every tonne on schedule—from first blast to final load‑out.
Turn‑Key Service Suite
| Stage | What We Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Geological Assessment & Resource Modelling | Confirm ore body geometry, grade, and tonnage using core logging, drone photogrammetry, and 3‑D modelling. | Accurate models de‑risk mine plans, optimise strip ratios, and protect investor confidence. |
| 2. Mine Planning & Design | Generate pit shells, haul routes, blast patterns, and production schedules in Datamine & Surpac. | Validated plans reduce dilution, maximise recovery, and ensure compliance with DMRE permits. |
| 3. Drill & Blast | Deploy top‑hole hammer rigs, electronic initiation systems, and vibration monitoring. | Fragmentation targets are hit first‑time, lowering crushing energy and downstream costs. |
| 4. Load & Haul | Match excavators, loaders, and dump trucks to real‑time fleet‑management software. | > 90 % mechanical availability keeps tonnage flowing; telemetry cuts idle fuel burn. |
| 5. Mobile Crushing & Screening | Rapid‑deploy jaw‑cone‑VSI trains, fully electric or diesel‑hybrid, scale from 50–400 tph. | Plants unfold in < 72 hours; no civil foundations required, so capital stays flexible. |
| 6. Materials Handling & Logistics | Build ROM pads, stockpiles, and load‑out stations; coordinate road, rail, or port dispatch. | Seamless hand‑off to buyers eliminates demurrage and preserves margin. |
| 7. Tailings & Waste Management | Construct paddock dumps, in‑pit backfill, or filter‑press solutions with geotechnical QA/QC. | Environmental stewardship and licence‑to‑operate secured from day one. |
| 8. Rehabilitation & Closure Planning | Profile waste dumps, seed indigenous flora, and monitor water‑quality baselines. | Early closure works minimise final‑phase liabilities and align with ESG goals. |
