Stockholm, Sweden: Epiroc, a leading productivity and sustainability partner for the mining and construction industries, has won a large order in Mexico from Canadian mining services provider Dumas Contracting Ltd. for underground mining equipment and related services and solutions.

Epiroc’s Boltec S rock-reinforcement rig is part of the order by Dumas

Dumas, a subsidiary of STRACON Group - a leading provider of state-of-the-art underground and surface mining services throughout the Americas - is a full-service underground mining contractor. It has ordered a range of Epiroc rigs for face drilling, production drilling and rock reinforcement, as well as loaders and mine trucks for use at a silver mine in northern Mexico.

The order is valued at about MSEK 200 and was booked in the first quarter 2024.

“We have several years of successful partnership with Dumas in Canada and the United States, and we are happy to now support them in Mexico so they can provide their mining clients with the best solutions possible to strengthen safety and productivity,” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO.

“Building upon decades of successful partnerships, we have once again aligned with Epiroc to provide equipment solutions to one of our critical projects in Mexico as both parties were able to develop a common understanding of service delivery, which will enable Dumas to add value to our mining clients,” says Paolo Herrera, Vice President Operations, Mexico, at Dumas. “We look forward to delivering world-class mining services that are founded in safe and productive performance.”

The ordered equipment includes Boomer 282 and Boomer S1D face drilling rigs, Boltec S and Boltec 235H rock reinforcement rigs, Simba S7 production drill rigs, Scooptram ST1030 and Scooptram ST7 loaders, and Minetruck MT2200 and Minetruck MT436B haulers. Epiroc will also provide spare parts, drilling tools, technical service and training on site, as well as safety-enhancing digital solutions that include asset tracking.

The new order follows a smaller order from Dumas in the fourth quarter 2023. Dumas then ordered Boomer 282 and Boltec 235 rigs for use at a new gold mine in Mexico.
