Johannesburg - South Africa - AEL Mining Services, an international leader and innovator in commercial explosives and blasting solutions, has expanded its footprint into Africa with the establishment of AEL Namibia Limited. AEL Namibia has opened a regional office in Swakopmund, and constructed an explosive and accessory magazine at Karibib in the Namibian midlands, which is licensed to store 1,000 cases of packaged explosive products and 400 cases of initiating systems.According to Neill Liebenberg, AEL Namibia's regional manager of Quarry Services, sales are currently targetted at the smaller blasting operations in the civil construction and quarrying sectors. "Several of the larger gold and uranium mining companies have expressed interest in our services after introductory meetings, with the view to securing future bulk explosives supply contracts," adds Liebenberg. "The global shortage of ammonium nitrate last year presented us with the opportunity of supplying a significant quantity of imported ammonium nitrate porous prill to Rossing Uranium Mine." Several trial blasts have recently also been undertaken at two of the larger uranium mining companies, namely Paladin Australia's Langer Heinrich and Areva's Trekkopjie, utilising AEL's S100 Eco bulk emulsion, delivered from a re-pump Mobile Manufacturing Unit (MMU). The trials also incorporated high speed photography and video analysis of the blasts, conducted by AEL's Blast Consult department.
