About the company

Mining, exploration and engineering services at its best — delivered by people who know the ground, the machines and the numbers.

Who we are

A technical team, not a trading desk.

Im mining, Exploration & Engineering Services Ltd. is a group of highly trained engineers, geologists and geophysicists on staff, with the aim of economically determining resources on properties — proving them and bringing the raw material into production. Our mineral portfolio centres on rare earth and industrial minerals, developed responsibly across Africa.

We specialise in asset and equipment management as well, so that operators have the peace of mind to focus on productivity while fleets, plants and spares are managed to professional standards. Our work spans the mining industry, the oil & gas industry, and collaboration with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

“We can put your company ahead of the competition.”
