Cunningham Lindsey has established a Global Practice Mining Team, with more than 6,000 employees and based in 65 countries.
The adjusters have handled hundreds of major mining losses involving floods, landslides, access route interruptions and plant losses of every description; together with hydroelectric, ventilation, electrical and communication systems on both open cut, deep and mixed mines.
The group’s expertise includes:
• catastrophe response – losses that seriously impact mine production and result in lost sales;
• site recovery – dealing with regulations, controlling water treatment and proper disposal etc.;
• dealing with severe mechanical damage to long wall mines;
• understanding challenges associated with replacement of mining equipment;
• loss management and settlement following the flooding of underground workings of platinum mine; and
• conveyor system collapses causing change of mine plan with impact to sales and production.
