Turnkey crushing and quarrying solutions company Gold Rock Projects has completed the manufacture of a new two-stage, three-product aggregate plant – the Marsay 100 TPH – for a client in Nigeria.

The order was shipped from its supplier, in India, to Apapa port, in Nigeria, last month.

Gold Rock Projects, an original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) for openpit mining clients across Africa, is growing its presence on the continent, says executive director Michael Marsay.

The plant is scheduled for arrival at the port later this month and will then be transported by road to reach the client by mid-August.

The site is being prepared, including all the required civil engineering works, thereby ensuring the site is ready for the plant to be installed upon arrival.

“Once delivered, Gold Rock Projects will handle the full installation and commissioning on site,” adds Marsay.

Meanwhile, Gold Rock Projects has also supplied and commissioned a new Marsay TM750P semi-mobile jaw crusher to a gravel road rehabilitation project, in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, which, since being delivered in March, has consistently produced 400 t of 80 mm product a day.

The client required a single-stage crusher capable of accepting a large feed size for rehabilitating gravel roads on a large game farm, he says.

The TM750P, with a crushing rate of up to 50 t/h, was selected for the client owing to its handling a feed size of up to 450 mm, with output sizes of about 80 mm, in one pass.

The client is satisfied with the operating costs, durability and reliability of the crusher, says Marsay.

Agency Secured

Gold Rock Projects secured the agency and distribution rights for a new range of crushers, manufactured in India, with Marsay highlighting that this new range will be branded as Marsay Crushers and Screens for the African Market.

The company will supply them as part of the Nigerian client order book, as well as towards further projects in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region and North Africa.

“This agency agreement positions Gold Rock Projects to bring a broader selection of high-quality crushing and screening products to the SADC market at competitive prices, further enhancing its commitment to excellence and innovation,” he notes.

Meanwhile, the company remains engaged in several significant initiatives, which should come to fruition in the near future.

These include a substantial number of OEM aggregate plants and front-end copper project offerings in Zambia, as well as increasing interest in the development and operation of coal beneficiation and processing facilities in Malawi and Tanzania.

In South Africa, Gold Rock Projects’ focus has shifted towards replacement crushers and smaller units tailored for recycling purposes, reflecting the evolving needs of the market and the emphasis on sustainability.

The company aims to become a preferred supplier and equipment partner by offering modular two- and three-stage crushing plants, with capacities ranging from 100 t/h to 250 t/h, adds Marsay.

These solutions are designed to be straightforward, cost effective and efficient, each one customised to meet client requirements, he notes.

“Leveraging extensive expertise in the aggregate crushing industry, Gold Rock Projects is dedicated to providing the appropriate equipment at competitive prices, ensuring that clients receive exceptional value and performance.”

The company has supplied complete modular plants with capacities from 35 t/h to 250 t/h and can deliver larger systems, when required.
