Underground productivity products, designed and built in South Africa — and the contract mining crews that prove them.
“Forging Solutions Underground”
Snatch Mining Industries designs, manufactures and installs productivity-enhancing products for underground mining at any reef width, conventional or mechanised — principally chrome, platinum and gold. Where the mine's contracting model allows, we run the contract mining teams that use them.
We are not a reseller. Every product in our range was invented, engineered and built by us, so lead times are ours to control and a change found on a panel this week can be in production the next.
Safety is the first design constraint. Every product is designed to remove an unsafe condition rather than warn against it — the Drill Jig cannot be operated where support has not been placed, and the Snatchblock lifts the rope off the footwall so it stops failing under tension.
Our contract mining division is where products are proven, on a real contract against a real production target, before they reach your shaft.
The spend comes first and the saving follows — that judgement sits with the mine, so every product here is described by what it puts back on the panel, in figures you can weigh against your own.
Gulleys from blast 1
One winch cleans multiple panels around 90° corners.

40 min per shift
Stops the rope wearing against the hanging wall, and the splicing that follows.

5–10× rope life
Carries the full rope clear of the footwall, so it stops wearing out.

1.5 m in 2 minutes
A 1.5 m hole in 2 minutes, to the same angle and burden every time.

Operator out from under the drill
Remote drilling from a supported area, at the correct angle every hole.

Keeps the blast you lose to sweeping
Keeps swept back areas clean, so sweeping does not cost you a blast.
See the product →Mining products fail on implementation far more often than they fail on engineering. We do not hand over a crate. We put a qualified instructor on the shaft for a full month, working your shifts alongside your crew, until your own people are trained and qualified as operators. Installation is a morning; implementation is the month that follows.
