The SmartROC rig is being deployed at the Tarkwa open pit mine in the south west owned by Gold Fields Ghana Ltd., the country’s largest privately-owned mining company, which is also using Epiroc FlexiROC D65RC rigs at the nearby Damang mine.
Gold Fields says high expectations from suppliers such as Kinkubi is the key to its sustainable operations.
“Our operations depend upon the reliable supply of responsibly produced products and services, and the know-how of experts in their field,” the company adds.
Accordingly, the introduction of the SmartROC T45LF by Kinkubi is a perfect fit, providing “smart” technology and innovative drilling innovations that maximize safety and sustainability.
The rig has been deployed at these sites since November 2020. Emmanuel Appiah, Managing Director at Kinkubi, confirms that the “smartness” was the main reason for choosing the rig.
