Achievements
Ran a Limestone Mining to Beneficiation Project which was a success to the point that the Limestone was and is still used at the Mine. Started from surveying, to mining, hauling to the factory. The limestone is mined and attained at good quality and this has lowered operational costs by saving a great deal on transport costs as current site is near the factory versus the initial limestone provider.
