Our business
Mining services
HIGG provides exploration, earthmoving, site-preparation and extraction support for mining concession holders and project partners.
Mining services and subcontracting
Practical support for mining projects
Mining concession holders need partners who understand that project delivery happens in the field. Our services are shaped around the requirements of the site, the deposit and the agreed project scope.
Exploration and drilling support
Exploration creates the foundation for better project decisions.
HIGG supports geological field activities, mapping, sampling, trenching, pitting and drilling programmes. These activities help partners improve their understanding of a deposit and determine the next stage of work.
HIGG can participate in exploration programmes as a mining-services provider, project partner or subcontractor, depending on the requirements of the engagement.

Earthmoving and site preparation
Before extraction begins, the site must be prepared for safe and efficient work.
HIGG’s mining-services capability includes earthmoving, site clearing, access roads, working areas, overburden removal, drainage and water-management support.
The scope is defined around the physical conditions of the site and the requirements of the concession holder.

Extraction and mining support
HIGG supports extraction activities across heavy mineral sands, alluvial gold, hard-rock gold and coal.
The work may involve site preparation, material movement, pit development, stockpile management, haulage support and other activities connected to the agreed mining plan.
Every project begins with a clear understanding of the resource, the location and the required outcome.

Equipment matched to the project scope
Mining projects depend on the right equipment being available at the right time.
HIGG’s mining-services offer includes fleet and heavy-machinery capability to support project requirements across earthmoving, site preparation, extraction and mining operations.
Equipment requirements are assessed according to the scope, location, ground conditions and delivery schedule of each project.
Discuss equipment and project supportHow we work
A productive mining relationship starts with a clear conversation.
HIGG begins by understanding the concession, project location, target commodity, work scope and expected outcome. From there, the project requirements can be assessed and the appropriate service model discussed.
The engagement may involve exploration support, earthmoving, extraction, equipment, a fixed-scope contract, a joint venture or a mineral-supply relationship.
The objective is to give each partner a clear view of the work required and the practical path forward.
