This February, Tincol Mining is attending Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town, represented by Collins Mahadzva. We’re connecting with 8,000+ delegates to explore partnerships as a key supplier of laboratory consumables to mining companies across Southern Africa.
Africa’s Drive for Local Value Creation
A core message at the event: Africa is driving towards processing raw materials locally and exporting finished products, creating more value on the continent. This beneficiation push from Zambian copper to South African lithium relies on precise mineral analysis to refine resources efficiently on home soil.
Our laboratory consumables empower mining labs to deliver accurate assays, supporting the shift from raw exports to finished goods. Collins is engaging operators with mines across Southern Africa, as their ideal partner for local reliable lab supplies.
