Epiroc has been selected by Managem to enhance the safety and productivity of its Tizert mining project in Morocco. Epiroc will provide Managem with the digital tools necessary to modernize its operations and ensure both safety and efficiency at this critical site.

As an actor in Africa's energy future, Managem is a Pan-African mining group that has been developing and enhancing a diversified and balanced portfolio between gold and energy transition metals for over 90 years. The group is involved in the entire mining cycle, from exploration to the commercialization of metals. Managem employs 5,000 people, operates in seven African countries, including Morocco, and is committed to maintaining its culture of responsible mining valuation in all its activities by adhering to international standards and norms in environmental protection, social practices, and governance.

 

The Tizert project in Morocco, a greenfield site, planned to be the largest underground mining operation in the region, represents a transformative opportunity for growth. With an ambitious production target of 3,6 million tonnes per year, this copper mine is poised to redefine mining excellence in the region.

 

To fully harness its potential, Managem envisioned a state-of-the-art digitalized greenfield copper mine, leveraging advanced technologies to ensure optimized production and enhanced safety from day one.  Managem’s commitment to operational excellence and safety required real-time tracking solutions for personnel and vehicles.
