IPC directors have extensive experience as mine owners, resource traders and project developers locally and internationally. Our current mining focus is to utilise innovative technology driven solutions like smart bore hole, driver-less trucks, mapping by drone or smart vaults and vents to buffer the challenges the industry poses globally whilst creating sustainable working environments for many individuals.
Our aim is to create an environment where Innovation is not just mere lip service but way of life. With specific reference to African mining industry, innovation is constrained and most of it is limited to development of continuous mechanised mining that too with imported machines and technology resulting in higher cost of mining, lower economic growth, reduced employment in mining.
Our approach to sustainable mining is based on the need to build an innovation ecosystem within Africa that can reduce cost of mining by applying local technology, encouraging entrepreneurship within local talent via collaborating with International players and innovators to develop local talent and technology, intensive to attract talent towards Mining Innovation need to be in place.
Currently in Africa we don’t have a open platform where we are educating young entrepreneurs, Mining Engineers, Geologists for Mining Innovation. IPC strives to not only need to educate people in mining sector about Innovation but we also need to build an awareness toward innovation at university level in order to involve young talent pool in the process.
IPC’s mining division will grow organically through resource trading and acquisitions. Our current portfolio is largely dominated by resource trading as this is our strategy to generate good sustainable income that will afford us to make investments in mining operations and green field opportunities.
