Sibanye-Stillwater, one of the world\u2019s leading precious metals mining companies, will use the equipment for platinum mining at the Siphumelele shaft at its Rustenburg operations. The order includes low-profile loaders and utility vehicles, designed for use in mining applications with narrow veins. Sibanye-Stillwater will use the equipment as part of its ongoing project to mechanize the operation at the Siphumelele shaft, boosting safety and productivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to support the Siphumelele operation as it starts to use mechanized equipment<\/em>,\u201d says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cIt will strengthen Sibanye-Stillwater\u2019s continuous efforts to be as safe and productive as possible<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard Cox, Chief Operating Officer, Southern Africa operations at Sibanye-Stillwater, says: \u201cThe investment in Siphumelele is an important example of our strategic focus on extending mine life and unlocking additional value from our existing ore reserves. Epiroc’s low-profile fleet is well suited to the mining conditions at Siphumelele and will support the safe and efficient execution of this strategically important project<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ordered equipment includes the LHD 5.5 LP low-profile loader, UV42 utility vehicle, as well as a large range of UV42 cassettes. Derived from Epiroc\u2019s acquisition <\/a>of AARD Mining Equipment in 2023, the low- profile underground equipment expands Epiroc\u2019s presence in critical support and service applications, further strengthening the Group\u2019s position in underground mining. The utility vehicles are designed to support general operations, maintenance, and logistics below the surface. The cassettes are interchangeable work decks that mount onto the utility vehicles and thus strengthen the utilization of the UV42 vehicles. The cassettes fulfill a variety of transportation functions such as for personnel, tools, explosives and more.\u00a0Delivery of the equipment will begin in the fourth quarter 2026.<\/p>\n
