MINING SECURITY

EXECUTIVE PROTECTION & FACILITY DEFENCE FOR THE GLOBAL MINING INDUSTRY

Mining remains one of the most complex and high-risk industries in the world. From the gold belts of West Africa to diamond concessions in southern Africa, from remote exploration camps to high-output production facilities, every stage of the mining life cycle demands robust, adaptive security.

EXECUTIVE PROTECTION FOR THE MINING SECTOR

Senior leaders in the mining industry face unique threats - particularly when travelling to or operating within jurisdictions where political instability, criminal activity, or civil unrest is a constant risk.

Secure airport-to-site movements – controlled transfers, armoured transport and armed escort as required
In-country close protection – discreet security during site visits, investor meetings, and negotiations
Risk-managed transit – pre-mission reconnaissance, route planning and secure movement through volatile areas
Crisis evacuation – rapid, structured extraction in the event of security deterioration, labour unrest, or insurgent activity

FACILITY & FORCE PROTECTION

The uninterrupted operation of a mine site is critical to profitability. Disruption through security breaches, theft or targeted unrest can result in immediate and significant losses

Perimeter and access control systems
24/7 static guarding and Quick Reaction Force (QRF) capabilities

MINING SECURITY

Described by The London Times as the African Security Expert – Our Managing Director

Our Managing Director, Casey Christie, was born in "Egoli" isiZulu for "Place of Gold" – Johannesburg, South Africa – once regarded as the mining capital of the world. Growing up surrounded by vast mine dumps and travelling past massive gold mines and processing plants on a daily basis gave him an instinctive understanding of the mining sector’s operational realities and strategic vulnerabilities.
