Frequently asked
Why is Mining priced above the other engines?
It carries roughly double the requirement depth, multi-site rollup and the SLP, Mining Charter and rehabilitation workstreams. A single s54 stoppage costs a mine far more per day than the annual subscription.
What does it cost?
Mining Site R1,500/month for one mine or quarry with five users; Mining Group R5,000/month for up to five sites and ten users; Mining Enterprise R10,000/month for up to fifteen sites, twenty-five users and advisor access. Mining is sold on its own or added to Full Stack Specialist — it is not part of the R1,200 pick list.
Does it cover contractors working on mine sites?
Yes. Contractors and mandataries have their own register with agreements, medicals, inductions and competence evidence, because the mine carries the exposure for who is underground or in the pit.
Does TefCo submit returns to the DMPR?
No. TefCo tracks the obligation, holds the evidence and warns you before the date. Submission stays with the mine or its appointed professionals.
