The Byrnecut Group engages in mechanised underground mine feasibility, mine development and mine production.
The purpose of a contract miner is to deliver the short-term schedules and targets for the mine and manage all necessary personnel and equipment required to make this happen.
Byrnecut has the systems, skills and resources to operate an underground mine, allowing the mine owner to focus on the technical and financial aspects of the orebody. We provide expert supervision, skilled operators, state-of-the-art mining equipment and processes, plus comprehensive and robust safety systems with logistic support to drill, blast, excavate and transport material out of the mine.
