GHH has stated that it recently sold Breznik Minerals Ltd. a double-digit number of machines. The Bulgarian firm is a member of the Assarel-Medet JSC group of companies, which is the country’s first and biggest open-pit mining and copper ore processing company. They assert that they were the first in the sector to apply ISO 9001 quality standards.
The Breznik gold mining project, Bulgaria’s first underground greenfield mine in over 50 years, will employ the newly acquired machinery. The half-million-square-meter mining site is situated 35 kilometers west of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. According to reports, the deposit has additional silver resources in addition to JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) indicated resources of about 1 million t grading 2 g/t gold and inferred resources of around 700 000 t grading 1.8 g/t.
The first batch will be delivered to Breznik Minerals Ltd in 3Q24. The remaining amount is expected by the end of 2Q25. “We are excited about receiving their first GHH machines,” stated Krum Hristov, one of the founders of Strotech Engineering JSC, a Sofia, Bulgaria-based company that specializes in mining, industrial, and construction equipment. Looking back, the GHH dealer has delivered hundreds of heavy mining and construction machines. Throughout the nation, the organization operates multiple fully functional service centers and maintains 2000 units annually. Sofia has a sizable showroom that sits outside.
MK-20 and MK-30 diesel dump trucks and LF-7 diesel load haul dumpers (LHDs) make up the most recent order. The LHDs can carry 7000 kg of cargo in bucket sizes up to 4 m3. The car, according to GHH, has the best loading capacity in its class, standing only 2200 mm tall when completely loaded. It has an incredibly sturdy build, a 164 kW Tier3/4/Stage 5 engine, and provides the driver with more safety and comfort.
The dumpers are built with engines rated for up to 320 kW of power, payload capacities of 20 and 30 t, and dump box capacities of up to 18 m3. According to GHH, its special frame and system design enable the reduced running expenses. With the “GHH inSiTE” software, all vehicles can also be remotely monitored to manage maintenance, which is a major benefit in terms of machine availability and cost savings.
