TRANS MECHANICAL MINING LIMITED
Trans Mechanical Mining Limited is a 100 percent Zambian-owned company and is a Copperbelt Province-based specialist multidisciplined industrial contracting, construction and services company.
We serve the mining, petroleum, engineering and infrastructure construction sectors.
Trans Mechanical Mining’s experience has been earned in key industrial construction disciplines. As such, we specialise in:
• Building construction
• Tanks, pipe and structural steel –
fabrication and erection
• Mechanical and electrical installations • Mining equipment maintenance,
including component repairs
• Supply of both mechanical and
electrical spares for mining operations
Our core talent lies in our ability to safely deliver quality projects on time every time. When contracting we take with us our strong values: expeditious construction delivery; safe work practices; construction quality assurance; and maintenance and loyalty to our customers, employees and suppliers. Safety on the job is also cardinal in our operations. Experience has taught us that these are critical contributors to first class service provision.
Trans Mechanical Mining always seeks the most cost and time effective services. This may involve partnering with other companies to enhance our service delivery.
At Trans Mechanical Mining we are different because:

percent by the mechanical separation of waste rock before feeding it to the mills for further processing by taking advantage of differences in densities between the waste rock and ore.
“This technology is largely used in gold processing or in mineral types that have significant density differences in comparison to the host rock. In our case, it will serve to discard a significant amount of waste which would have required a large quantity of reagents to process the nickel, thereby helping in reducing our processing cost.”
Technological investments like the DMS plant have been a running theme throughout Mabiza’s recent activities at the Munali Nickel Mine, the company also having made forward-thinking process changes to the underground mining method and invested into a platinum group metal (PGM) concentrate circuit.
“As a result,” Banda continues,
“we are now able to produce two saleable products in nickel concentrate and PGM concentrate, which was previously not the case.
“We’ve worked to reduce our cost of production to the extent that we should be able to operate at low nickel prices without compromising efficiency and productivity, and have made our employees accountable with the introduction of key performance indicators at every level being visible electronically to management.
“A fully-fledged procurement and supply department have also been introduced to this end, ensuring we get the best value for money. There are a lot of new interventions – these examples are pointers to just some of the key initiatives.”
An eye to the future
To say that Mabiza Resources is content with the progress that it has made to date, however, would be false.
