Common Ground for  Lasting Success

Erinys' Support to the Mineral Extraction Industry 

Understanding Sustainability 

We have a strong performance record of successfully supporting the mineral extraction industry across sub-Saharan Africa. We know how the industry works and understand its needs - not just to protect assets, people and reputation, but also to conduct business operations in an environmentally and socially responsible way. 

​

Erinys also understands that mining corporations see the future sustainability of their businesses not only in financial terms, but increasingly also in terms of providing tangible and lasting social and environmental benefits to the areas in which they operate. We see such provision as integral to the creation of a safe and secure working environment for our clients, helping reduce risks.

The Erinys Approach 

Sustainable security and risk management strategies can only be effectively designed and applied by security experts who match a grasp of operational realities with an understanding of the key stages of mine development. 

​

By working closely with the industry, its sub-contractors and our technical partners over many years, our mining operations security experts have acquired the experience and developed a basket of capabilities which can be task organised to suit our clients' specific requirements. The key to the Erinys Approach is to apply these capabilities intelligently on the basis of situational understanding in order to enable the realisation of our clients' business objectives in remote and potentially hostile areas. 

Embedding Security by Design 

Successful miners understand the value of including the security component at the very earliest stages of project planning. Erinys calls this embedding security by design. It takes as its start point a deep understanding of our clients' business goals, which is matched with knowledge of the current, emerging and likely future threats which have to be managed in order to achieve them. 

​

We have learned through experience that embedding integrated security strategies into mineral extraction projects from the start can yield security outcomes that are far more effective, sustainable and cost-effective than retrofitted risk mitigation measures. We believe it is better to create and maintain a safe and secure environment from the start rather than being forced to manage risk in an unsafe and insecure one throughout the mining project life cycle.
