Quarrying Africa launches

DueNorth Media Africa has announced the launch of Quarrying Africa, a premier information hub for the sub-Saharan African quarrying sector.

“Quarrying Africa is a reference tool, a must-read for the broader spectrum of the aggregates value chain, from quarry operators and aggregate retailers, to cement and concrete producers, mining contractors, aggregate haulage companies and the supply chain at large,” explains Munesu Shoko, founder & editor of Quarrying Africa.

Published six times a year, the publication seeks to align the African quarrying sector with modern mining practices, while highlighting opportunities for business growth across the region. This is achieved through in-depth news, features and thought leadership articles that seek to highlight new business enablers such as technology and equipment and unpacking the legislative requirements (mineral rights/mining licences, health & safety), among other topical issues that aff­ect the industry.

“Quarrying Africa is a key information tool for the quarrying industry in Africa. In launching this platform, we saw the need to truly highlight the business opportunities in the quarrying industry on the continent, especially on the back of the projected hive of infrastructure development activity across sub-Saharan Africa. We also seek to cast the spotlight on the regulation environment in which the industry is operating – exploration, geology, mineral rights/mining licences, health and safety and environmental – across the region,” concludes Shoko.
