We mine the tonnes other people walk away from.

Fleur de Rocaille is a contract mining house. Drilling, production mining, blasting, processing and closure — run by crews who report to the same plan you signed.

What we do

Mining services

Eight service lines, one accountability chain. Take the whole mine or a single bench — either way you get one crew, one plan and one number to call when it isn't going to plan.

Full-scope contract mining, from strip to stockpile

Our fleet, our crews, your plan. We mobilise onto a bench in weeks, not quarters, and report tonnage, grade and cost per tonne every single shift.

How it works

From enquiry to first tonne in four moves

  1. 01

    You tell us the problem

    Submit a service request with tonnage, access and target dates. One form, no sales gatekeeping.

  2. 02

    An engineer walks the site

    Within days, not weeks. We look at the ground, the plant and the paperwork before quoting.

  3. 03

    You approve a written scope

    Fixed rate per tonne, per metre, or an availability contract — with the assumptions listed.

  4. 04

    We mobilise and report

    Crews on the bench, and cost per tonne, grade and downtime reported every shift.

“They took over a pit we'd written off and had it back on plan inside a quarter. The weekly reconciliation is the honest part — nothing hides.”
