JCHX Mining Management, a China-based mining company, has booked an order with Sandvik for a fleet of 45 units of underground mining equipment for MMG’s Khoemacau copper mine in northwestern Botswana.
According to Sandvik, the order was placed in the second quarter of 2026, and deliveries are scheduled to begin in August 2026 and end in April 2030. The contract is valued at approximately US$70 million.
The order includes Toro trucks and cranes, drilling rigs, production drilling equipment, high-pitched drilling equipment, and utility units. The company said the loaders and long-hole excavators will come equipped with its AutoMine platform, along with productivity and remote monitoring services.
“We are proud that our local, regional and global support model has been recognized by JCHX, along with our flexibility to adapt to their evolving needs as the project evolves,” said David Wang, Global JCHX Account Manager at Sandvik.
“Our long-term relationship is built on trust, and Sandvik has proven time and time again that it delivers on its commitments,” added Wang Xiancheng, Chairman of JCHX.
Since 2025, Sandvik has secured orders with JCHX worth more than US$100 million.
MMG’s Khoemacau copper mine is located in the Kalahari Copper Belt, one of the highest potential areas in South Africa. The Zone 5 underground mine and on-site Boseto processing plant have an annual copper concentrate production of 43,000 to 53,000 tons with potential for up to 60,000 tons, according to MMG.
