Midroc Gold, a leading company in gold mining industry, has upgraded its operations with the acquisition of new heavy mining equipment, valued at over 1.5 million dollars. The delivery of two Komatsu excavators and a motor grader took place at the Legadembi Midroc Gold mine last week. Midroc is engaged in the extraction and processing of gold through its open and underground pits at the Legedenbi and Sakaro extraction sites, and a processing plant nearby. Ries Engineering, the distributor of brands like Ford, partnered with the Japanese company Komatsu last December. According to Tsegaye Demeke, sales manager, more equipment orders from Midroc are in the pipeline. The partnership also includes a service and maintenance agreement and training to ensure optimal operation of the new machinery. He said the machines are expected to boost productivity, minimise downtime, and enhance safety standards at the mine.
