technical partner

Ecosystem Mining is a specialized joint venture established to execute complete mineral exploration and underground development programs across Saudi Arabia and international markets. The venture unites Ecosystem’s local execution capacity and project management excellence with the decades of underground mining experience of its technical partner, Grupo Carbomec.

Founded in northern Spain in the 1980s, Grupo Carbomec has built a solid reputation for precision, innovation, and safety in underground mining, tunnelling, and civil engineering. Through its three specialized companies—SATRA, CARBOMEC, and GEOSA—the group has delivered major projects in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, including gold and base metal mines, hydropower tunnels, and infrastructure works such as the Riyadh Metro Line 5.

Together, Ecosystem and Carbomec combine European engineering standards, advanced mechanized excavation expertise, and local operational insight to deliver exploration and development programs that meet the highest international benchmarks. From early-stage geological mapping and geophysical surveys to trenching, drilling, core analysis, and 3D resource modeling, Ecosystem Mining manages every phase with precision, sustainability, and transparency.

The partnership’s integrated Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) system is aligned with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards, driven by a Zero Harm philosophy and a culture of continuous improvement. This ensures that all work—whether in exploration, underground development, or technical reporting—is executed with complete regard for people, property, and the environment.

Through this alliance, Ecosystem Mining offers a unique blend of local presence and global expertise, positioning itself as a trusted technical execution partner for exploration and mining projects across the Kingdom and beyond.

Mining Operator

Ecosystem Mining delivers complete mining operation services — from mine development and construction to full-scale production management — combining international expertise with local execution under the framework of Saudi Vision 2030.
Our mission is to transform raw mineral potential into productive, efficient, and sustainable operations. With the technical strength of our partner Grupo Carbomec, we bring more than three decades of underground and surface mining experience to every project. Together, we execute operations that meet the highest global benchmarks for safety, productivity, and environmental performance.

Our services cover the full mining value chain, including site preparation, open-pit and underground mining, ore extraction, material handling, and plant operations. We implement advanced production techniques such as precision drilling and blasting, mechanized loading and hauling, and optimized grade control systems to reduce dilution and maximize recovery. In the processing phase, we manage crushing, milling, and beneficiation circuits—using technologies like gravity separation, flotation, and CIL/CIP leaching—to achieve metallurgical recoveries above 85%.

Every operation is supported by digital and data-driven tools that improve reliability and decision-making. We integrate IoT-based monitoring, drone-assisted surveys, AI-driven process optimization, and digital twin simulations to enhance safety, efficiency, and predictive maintenance. Our fleet and plant systems are managed through real-time control platforms, ensuring high equipment availability (OEE >85%) and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Ecosystem Mining’s commitment to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) is uncompromising. Our Zero Harm policy ensures that every task—from the blast face to the processing plant—is carried out safely and responsibly. Operations are conducted under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards and aligned with ICMM principles for sustainability, ethics, and biodiversity protection.

Through workforce localization, environmental stewardship, and innovation, Ecosystem Mining sets a new standard for modern mining operations in the Kingdom. Our integrated approach transforms mining sites into sustainable assets that deliver consistent performance, measurable results, and long-term value for partners, investors, and communities.

Mining Consultant

Ecosystem Mining provides end-to-end mining consultancy services designed to transform mineral resources into profitable, sustainable operations. Our role begins long before production — guiding investors, license holders, and operators through every stage of project development with technical accuracy, economic foresight, and environmental responsibility.

Backed by the proven expertise of Grupo Carbomec, our consultancy combines over three decades of underground mining experience with modern analytical, financial, and digital tools. We help clients define, plan, and execute mining projects that meet the highest international standards while remaining fully aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives for localization, sustainability, and industrial diversification.

Our scope covers the entire mining value chain — from geological modeling, geotechnical and geophysical studies, to mine design, scheduling, and metallurgical optimization. We develop feasibility studies, reserve reporting (JORC / NI 43-101), and economic models that maximize Net Present Value (NPV) and minimize operational risk. Through our integrated advisory framework, we provide solutions for environmental permitting, ESG compliance, tailings management, and closure planning, ensuring every project is technically sound and socially responsible.

At Ecosystem, consultancy means partnership. Our team works side-by-side with clients to deliver actionable strategies, from concept design to start-up support, performance monitoring, and value optimization. We employ advanced software such as Leapfrog, Surpac, Datamine, and Whittle, supported by in-field data collection with drones, XRF analyzers, and IoT sensors, creating a seamless link between geology, engineering, and economics.

Our approach is built on ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 management systems and guided by the principles of Zero Harm and Maximum Impact. With a multidisciplinary team combining international and regional experience, Ecosystem Mining brings clarity, reliability, and innovation to every project — ensuring that the Kingdom’s mineral wealth is developed responsibly and efficiently, turning geological potential into measurable value for investors, communities, and the nation.

Mining Maintenance

Ecosystem Mining delivers integrated maintenance solutions designed to keep mining operations running safely, efficiently, and without interruption. With the technical strength of Grupo Carbomec and our specialized local execution teams, we provide full maintenance coverage across fleets, plants, furnaces, and industrial infrastructure, ensuring reliability in the most demanding environments.

Our services combine preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance—supported by advanced diagnostic tools such as vibration analysis, thermography, and IoT-based condition monitoring. Through this data-driven approach, we achieve up to 30% reductions in downtime and extend the lifespan of critical assets by 20–25%, improving overall equipment effectiveness and operational continuity.

From open-pit fleets and underground equipment to crushing plants and smelting furnaces, our technicians perform inspections, rebuilds, and system upgrades in full alignment with international standards. We integrate sustainable maintenance practices, including energy-efficient retrofits, fluid recycling, and emission-control systems for furnaces and exhaust lines, ensuring compliance with ISO 14001 and IFC environmental guidelines.

Every intervention follows a rigorous Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) methodology under ISO 9001, 45001, and 55001 frameworks, emphasizing safety, precision, and measurable performance improvement. Our field teams are trained in lockout/tagout (LOTO), risk mitigation, and environmental protection, ensuring that every repair or overhaul contributes to long-term sustainability and operational resilience.

At the core of our philosophy—Proactive Care, Uninterrupted Production—lies a commitment to innovation, localization, and continuous improvement. By integrating smart maintenance systems, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring, Ecosystem Mining guarantees that every asset performs at its best—supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goal of building a modern, self-reliant, and sustainable mining industry.
