COMPANY PROFILE Since 2000, Banlaw Africa has quickly become one of the leading contract mining, civil engineering and construction companies in sub-Saharan Africa. For us, “The Benchmark in African Mining and Construction,” means delivering sustainable projects on time and within budget to create value for your business. And how do we do this?

Because we have experience with a wide variety of minerals, including gold, iron ore, zinc and manganese projects across Ghana, Burkina Faso, DRC, Cote d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone and Liberia. We provide unrivalled insight into Sub-Saharan logistics, operating procedures, mining codes, and business practices, to both mining companies and EPCMs. Because we take pride in our multi-disciplinary service offering. We have provided contract mining, earthworks, infrastructure, and civil works for clients. We have worked closely with EPCMs in the management of large, small and medium-scale mine construction projects. We have maintained mine infrastructure, we have worked with mineral processing, and we have undertaken geotechnical and geodetic services, among other things.

Because we are supporting our customers in new frontiers. Our regional administration office is in Accra, Ghana and we have operational offices in Tarkwa, Ghana; in Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou; in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire; and in Monrovia, Liberia - arguably one of Africa’s most exciting new mining destinations.

Because we are experienced in Sub-Saharan business environment. During close to 15 years of operation, we have gained invaluable insight into sub-Saharan logistics, operating procedures, mining codes, human resources and community relations. We also have a large in-house fleet of earthmoving and civil works equipment.

Because we believe in our team. Richard Levack, Operations CEO, leads an experienced team of expats and African nationals, to provide, safe, high quality, socially responsible service to our clients.

We are Banlaw Africa: The Benchmark in African Mining and Construction.

CSR Banlaw was founded in Africa and believes in playing an active role in the African communities in which it works. The firm works hand in hand with clients and local government to develop local infrastructure for communities. Projects have included building schools, repairing public roads, constructing football pitches and developing other recreational areas and village facilities. Below are some examples of Banlaw’s CSR-initiatives: Akoon is a small village close to the Gold Fields Tarkwa Mine in the Western Region of Ghana. Banlaw aided the Tarkwa Ladies Club in the construction of a new village school. Foundation excavation and drainage was carried out and the company contributed financially to the project. In a joint CSR-initiative, Banlaw and Gold Fields placed rockfill and granular running surface material over a flooded and destroyed section of the Bogoso to Tarkwa road.

In 2013 Banlaw signed a major contract with Arcelor Mittal which necessitated the movement of heavy equipment from Cote d’Ivoire to Liberia. While the Liberian government has made good progress repairing internal road linkages, laterite and border roads have been more neglected due to lack of resources. The wars left the road which traversed the border from Liberia to its neighbour in poor condition, and largely impassable, particularly in the wet season. Banlaw rebuilt 40-kilometres of road from west of Toulepleu in Cote d’Ivoire to Toetown in Liberia. The local authorities concerned were pleased with the development and local communities have greatly benefited from improved access.
