For mining contractors and service providers
Be first to the projects breaking ground
Civils, earthworks, shaft-sinking, plant construction, maintenance, refurbishment, equipment hire and mining services. AMIQ shows you every African project moving into build and every running mine that needs your scope, with the owner and engineer who award the work.
Subscribe to see which projects are breaking ground and reach the buyers before the tender is public.
The contractor opportunity, in numbers
Demand for your scope is mapped, mine by mine
The AMIQ platform follows 2,245 projects and mines right across the continent. For a contractor or service provider, two phases pay the bills: a project in execution that needs civils, shaft-sinking and plant construction, and a running mine that needs ongoing maintenance, refurbishment and aftermarket support. That is 533 active and build-stage sites today, with 67 more reaching final investment decision, each one attached to a verified owner and engineer you can approach.
Where the work sits
Where contractors win: execution and operational
Contractor and service demand peaks in two phases. Execution is a project under construction that needs build work now. Operational is a running mine that needs services year after year. Bankable projects are the next wave, about to break ground. AMIQ flags each one as it moves, so you bid early.

Where to focus
Project and mine demand by African region
Southern Africa carries the deepest base of contractor work, but East and West Africa are close behind and growing fast. Use the regions below to pick where your fleet, crews and service network can travel and win.

Your scope, mapped to the lifecycle
Which phase awards your kind of work
Different scopes are awarded at different points in a mine's life. AMIQ lets you filter by phase, so you target the projects that are buying exactly what you sell, right now.
Pre-mobilisation and site establishment
67 projects reaching final investment decision
The window to position before the build. Long-lead procurement, site establishment and early works are scoped here, and the owner is choosing partners for the contracts that follow.
Building the mine
80 projects under construction
The peak of build demand. Civils, earthworks, shaft-sinking, plant construction, roads, accommodation and bulk infrastructure are all let during execution, often before the work is advertised publicly.
Keeping the mine running
453 running mines
The largest and most durable contractor base. Running mines need ongoing maintenance, refurbishment, aftermarket support, materials handling and a wide range of mining services, repeated for the life of the operation.
Brownfield reopening the chain
Demand across the active base
When a producer expands a pit, sinks a new shaft or refurbishes a plant, the full build chain reopens on an asset that is already running. These brownfield contracts pair execution-scale work with an established owner relationship.

How contractors use AMIQ
From a project on the platform to a contract you win
Most contracts are lost before the tender ever appears. By the time a build package is advertised, the owner and the lead engineer have already shaped the scope, drawn up a shortlist and decided who they trust. The firms that win are the ones in the room early. AMIQ exists to get you there.
Across mining in Africa, the platform tracks every project and mine through its lifecycle, from grassroots prospect to a fully operational asset. For a contractor that means you can see a project the moment it moves into execution, and a running mine the moment it opens a refurbishment or mining services scope. Each record carries the 746 mine owners and 661 project engineers behind the work, so you reach the people who sign off, not a general inbox.
Work it by where your crews and fleet can realistically reach. The platform's deepest base of demand sits in Southern Africa, with fast-growing pipelines in East Africa and West Africa. Or work it by mineral, chasing the gold and copper builds where capital is flowing hardest. When a new development is announced, the new mining projects feed surfaces it, and you can size up its owner against the wider field of mining companies already on the platform.

Common questions
Mining contractors and services: questions answered
How does AMIQ help mining contractors win more work?
AMIQ tracks 2,245 projects and mines across Africa through their lifecycle. It flags the 80 projects in execution that need build work and the 453 running mines that need ongoing services, then gives you the verified owner and engineer contacts so you can approach them while a scope is still open.
What kinds of contractors and service providers use AMIQ?
Firms across civil works, earthworks, construction, shaft-sinking, plant construction, drilling, blasting, materials handling, equipment hire, maintenance and refurbishment, mining services, logistics and labour. Any business that sells into African mining can target the projects and mines that buy its scope.
When in a project's life is contractor work awarded?
Demand peaks in two phases. Execution is a project under construction, where civils, shaft-sinking, plant construction and infrastructure are let. Operational is a running mine, where maintenance, refurbishment, aftermarket and materials handling repeat for the life of the asset. Bankable projects, 67 of them, are the next wave about to break ground.
Which regions have the most contractor opportunities?
The deepest base sits in Southern Africa, at 835 tracked projects and mines. East Africa carries 586 and West Africa 578, both expanding quickly. Central Africa holds 207 and North Africa 39. Pick the regions your crews, fleet and service network can realistically reach, then work the live demand there.
How many owners and engineers can I reach through AMIQ?
The platform carries checked, direct details for 746 mine owners and 661 consulting engineers attached to projects, alongside 5,141 suppliers. These are the people who scope the work, draw up the shortlist and award the contract, reached directly rather than through a public tender portal.
Can the platform tell me the moment a site breaks ground?
Yes. Subscribe to AMIQ and set the filters that match your scope, region and commodity. The platform fires email alerts whenever a project moves phase, including the instant it enters execution, so you make contact early instead of finding out once the tender is already public.
