In a significant step in its international growth journey, BME Mining Canada will later this year officially launch its greenfield production and service facilities in Nairn Centre, Ontario.
Developed in conjunction with its joint venture (JV) partner Consbec, the facility underpins BME Mining Canada’s evolution as a serious player in the North American market, said BME GM Americas Aaron Austin.
“The production plants on our site – which we launch towards the second half of 2023 – will produce BME’s leading brand AXXIS electronic detonators, emulsion explosives and ANFO,” said Austin. “The facilities will also provide maintenance, servicing and cleaning of the company’s trucks and underground equipment – as well as give support for AXXIS blast initiation equipment.”
The facility will include laboratories for quality control and product development. The Nairn Centre development has been pursued alongside BME Mining Canada Inc’s considerable success in breaking into the local market, he explained. Among the recent breakthroughs has been a five-year full-service contract with a surface gold mine in Ontario.
