Stanley Mining Goes for Gold in Africa
the biggest gold mine in Tanzania —
and one of the biggest in Africa. And
since 1995 Stanley Mining Services has been
contributing to the mine’s growth and success.
Stanley Mining had been invited by
Ashanti Exploration to come to Tanzania
from West Africa to undertake exploration drilling in the Geita area. After
setting up an office in Geita Town,
Stanley Mining Services was fully
established by 1996.
“We work on both grade control
and exploration drilling,”says
William Atteridge, senior occupational health, safety and environmental coordinator for Stanley
Mining in Australia and Africa.
“About a third of our work is
grade control and the remaining
It’s
two thirds is exploration,”he notes.
Meeting the Highest Standards
As one of the largest contractors on site,
Stanley Mining has been involved in all of
the clients’ NOSA, ISO 14001 audits and
various inter-company audits.
In 2001 the site became the first mine in
East Africa to be audited by NOSA (National
Occupational Safety Association), and was
one of the first ever to be graded as a 4 Star
Platinum Mine for the combined Health,
Safety and Environmental Integrated NOSA
Audit. The same year the site also obtained
its ISO1 4001 registration on the Australian
and New Zealand ISO1 4001 Environmental
Management System.
