A new era for Strata Mining Services

With the change of the season as we roll into spring this month comes another milestone celebration within Strata Mining Services as they celebrate their second birthday as a standalone company.

In the competitive mine equipment game, Strata provides unique services which include pit-to-port mining solutions in the opencast mining industry. Well-trained operators are often what sets Strata apart from other companies as they believe in providing skilled people to operate their equipment and to provide excellent efficiencies and productivity.

It has been two years of navigating challenges since the rebirth of the company happened during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, but management and the steadfast team remained committed to the success of the company, especially since the business was permitted to continue operating as an essential service during this time.

The most recent change to the company is at senior level with a shuffle in the Board – empowerment partner Paulos Ngcobo retains his capacity as Director and majority shareholder and is joined by new board member and shareholder Linda Ngcobo who is formally welcomed by Chrisna Basson, Managing Director.

The company’s B-BBEE status remains 51% Black Owned with the inclusion of Black Woman Voting Rights.

Strata’s adept ability to morph into new and changing circumstances has been the secret to their success in their short but effective two years. The company’s dedicated and enthusiastic team remain true to its values and virtues, which MD Chrisna Basson believes has been a significant contribution to the company’s success and ability to adapt thus far.

“People are our priority, from our customers to our executives and all our staff,” said Chrisna. “We have a solid team and the invaluable relationships we hold and maintain with our people is our central focus, where we’ve earned trust and respect for one another. The fundamentals of remaining humble, the urgency to deliver a top-class solution and the hunger to get things done while respecting those around us have brought us to where we are, and I am exceptionally proud of my team.”

Among Strata’s unique services are basic mine rehabilitation, stockpile management, opencast mining solutions and mine load and haul solutions.

“Our business is growing and we’re available to be of service to you for your mining and pit-to-port solutions for many years to come,” says Chrisna.
