An equipment purchase day to outfit our mining sites

Receiving, inspecting and loading equipment bound for our Haut-Uélé sites: diesel engine, welding generator, batteries and accessories. A concrete step in the modernization of our production tooling.

Purchase, inspection and field presence

For Akwamining, every equipment acquisition relies on direct presence, careful reading of material quality, and a relationship of trust with suppliers.

The images gathered here document a concrete moment of work: component verification, nameplate checks, handling, securing the load and logistics organisation before departure to our operating sites.
