The Highveld Mine Map – Insight and Analysis

The Highveld Mine Map – Insight and Analysis

The Middelburg/Emalahleni area is well known for being an industrious mining complex. Not only is the bulk of the country’s coal resource deposited in the western Mpumalanga, but the area is also known for hosting many of Eskom’s Power Stations. This network has resulted in an abundance of local business opportunities positioned to support the mines and power stations with the services and products they require.

The question naturally arises: how can one gain access to this network? Forward-thinking organisations of the region have always been committed to facilitating and fostering productive, synergistic and profitable business relationships amongst themselves.  This spirit of cooperative goodwill has resulted in a rich repository of information geared to stimulate business development and grow the local business landscape through any means possible.

The Mine Map, a product of such collaborations, is aimed at developing networks in the local mining industry. The Decisionsmiths recently contributed critical insights to the map through a revolutionary business intelligence (BI) transformation. No longer will the critical contact information only be available as a printed copy, but we now offer an online version, fully searchable and interactive.

Mining operations can be filtered by commodity, mode of operation, ownership structure or geographic location.

Additional insights become available through superimposing the mine locations onto reference layers, showing mine locations on geological maps, satellite imaging or analysing the state of the roads servicing the operation.

Data analytics has never been more important to your business. The Decisionsmiths specialises in coupling your in-house dataset with the wealth of data available in the world today and adding value to your strategic business decision-making in a cost-effective way.

A Map of Middelburg to plan your deliveries

A Map of Middelburg to plan your deliveries

The staff of the Middelburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry have gone to the trouble of checking the streets of Middelburg and Mhluzi and producing a printable map of the area. You can order a copy of the map to fit in any room of your business.

We have updated the street names of recently developed areas and linked the streets to a grid. The map can be supplied in the size you require, in black and white, with your logo or in full colour print. Place your order at the Information Office to receive your personalised wall map of our town.

For more information about the map, contact the Middelburg Information Centre on 013 243 2253 or email admin@middelburginfo.com.
