Low-cost mining operations and used mining equipment for sale is key to the viability of mining projects in the Philippines


For used mining equipment for sale, visit our Website.

Australian-based mining firm Rusina Mining's chief executive is positive that low-cost mining operations, with the help used mining equipment for sale, remain very feasible in the Philippines, including its nickel project in Zambales.

The key to mining is low cost and that’s where the Philippines has an advantage in — quality, low-cost projects according to the firm's CEO Robert G. Gregory. The firm's Acoje nickel project in Zambales would likely be profitable even with the current credit conditions and low nickel prices at the moment. By the time full-blown operations and huge financing will be needed for the project in 2010, the global crisis would have recovered and nickel prices would have gone up to pre-crisis prices.

Heavy Equipment for Sale for the China South-to-North Water Transfer Project




Four hundred thousand citizens will be relocated and will be replaced by newly-purchased what used to be heavy equipment for sale when the South-to-North Water Transfer Project begins for the very thirsty northern China.

Northern China's economic development is booming, but water supplies are flowing short. Desperate farmers have dug wells as deep as 600 feet to find water, but the Chinese government, with an unimplemented proposal from Mao himself, has much more digging in mind. The Chinese government is going to divert water from the Yangtze River, a southern river known for its strong rising tides, to the dry rivers of the northern China plains.

When completed, 12 trillion gallons of water will flow northward yearly through three man-made channels whose combined construction is expected to displace almost 400,000 people. The project has a $62 billion price tag making this project the most expensive construction project in China, ever. But having finished the Three Gorges Dam — a $25 billion project that has forced the relocation of more than 1 million people — China is no stranger to pricy megaprojects.

Securing Construction Equipment Loans


During these uncertain economic times, it is now more difficult to secure construction equipment loans. According to Finlease principal Mark O’Donoghue, customers are now being urged to do their bit to ensure they secure the finance they need. And that purchasing used construction equipment has been becoming a good option for construction companies to save on costs and to secure a rather smaller financing, that is much easier and faster to be approved. For more information on used construction equipment, contact MSloane Consulting.

Selling and buying used mining equipment for sale seem to be one of the rising trends in the industry to recover assets and produce savings


The mining sector weakly started into 2009 with much less confidence than with which it launched itself into 2008. Selling and buying used mining equipment for sale seem to be one of the rising trends in the industry to recover assets and produce savings. The super-cycle characterised by high commodity prices and rising demand, which had been dominant for so long, continued for the first half of 2008 unabashed – but then it all changed. Used mining equipment for sale are now at an upscale.

Back then, rising production costs were more of an inconvenience than any genuine cause for alarm as companies ramped up production to sate robust demand. The biggest problem was not being able to keep apace with demand. Now that this want has dissipated, supply constraints, along with other challenges such as the skills shortage, are but a distant memory.

The 2nd Annual Steel Markets Focus and Used Mining Equipment for Cost Savings




The 2nd Annual Steel Markets Focus conference will hold on January 29-30 2009, organized by Platts at Grand Hotel Kempinski, Geneva, Switzerland.

Steel markets are currently in a period of commercial restructuring. Supply and demand imbalances in raw materials upstream are creating strong and frequent price volatility downstream. Evolving demand patterns downstream are impacting upstream investment. This confluence of change is creating unprecedented uncertainty, while it relatively increases the utilisation of used mining equipment for cost savings.

An understanding of the steel market’s supply chain dynamics is vital to creating a commercial structure that can reduce exposure to price volatility. Developing flexible pricing mechanisms for each link of the value chain including mining equipment suppliers, maintenance services, and personnel providers and payroll processes may well help achieve stability in the industry.

Platts 2nd Annual Steel Markets Focus conference will focus on the changing commercial structure of steel markets It will bring together leading raw material suppliers, steel producers, distributors and traders, as well as consumers and members of the financial community to debate and discuss the evolving commercial structure of the industry.

Key topics discussed will include:

The changing commercial structure of steel markets

Raw material supply and its relationship with the steel industry

Drivers affecting steel price volatility

Differing pricing mechanisms and their impact on the value chain

Price volatility, risk and what its means for steel consumers

Future cost concerns to the industry in its response to climate change.

Contractors are shopping for heavy equipment for sale in Calgary


Contractors are shopping for heavy equipment for sale in Calgary as officials in Canada's wild west city of Calgary orders a second building to mimic one planned in the city's south-west. Construction has started on Eighth Avenue Place between 8th and 9th Avenues and 4th and 5th streets. This project will feature a 183m west tower and 202m east tower, with building work starting on the east tower. A start date has not been determined yet for the west tower. Apparently just one tower was planned at first, but was increased to two because of the popularity of the design by Gibbs Gage Architects and Pickard Chiltern. The towers, themed around the Rocky Moutains, will sport a pale green glass at the western facing facade in tribute to mountain waters and glaciers. The rest of the buildings will be grey and layered to represent the tectonic plates that formed the mountains. The view would be great.

Mining Equipment at the Omagh Gold Project, UK

Mining equipment and personnel are busy at the Omagh gold project which is located in Crown Estate with prospecting licence OM 1/03, covers an area of approximately 189km2, within of Tyrone and Fermanagh in western Northern Ireland. It produces gold with an estimated measured and indicated reserves of 104,000oz Au and inferred resources of 295,800oz Au of out of the mineral type Pyrite and Galena resting on a quartz-feldspar-muscovite-chlorite schists, shales and sandstones geology.

The processing plant uses conventional crushing, grinding and flotation to produce a lead sulphide concentrate. Mining equipment used are a narrow excavator bucket to pick up the ore and then taken to a nearby processing plant by dump truck. Power is provided by a 1,000kVA genset, a 400kWA genset and an 80kVA genset, although not all are in use at any one time. Galantas anticipates that mains electricity will be provided in due course.

The Mining and Mining Equipment Industries to Meet at the 4th Annual Asia Steel 2009



“The 4th Annual Asia Steel 2009” is organized by Metal Business Forum on 13th to 14th January 2009 at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore to help the leaders of metal, mining and mining equipment industries to prepare for the challenges and opportunities in 2009.
Asia Steel 2009 is indeed a very necessary event especially that there is a down turn in the financial resource available in this part of the world.

According to Dr. Amit Chatterjee, Advisor to the Managing Director of Tata Steel India, that though India’s growth may have come down from 9-10% to 8-9%, for the next couple of years, India’s plans to produce 180-200 Mt of steel by 2020 is progressing well. Definitely across Asia, steel is in the growth phase. With China becoming a major exporter of steel, at the same time reducing exports of coke/coking coal, a dramatic change in steel trade is anticipated in the Asian region as well as an unprecedented growth in the mining equipment industry. It is inevitable that Asia is at the forefront of the Global Steel Market and stakeholders of the industry need to be kept abreast with the latest developments in this region.
