In 1993, PAMICOR Limited was founded on a simple but radical conviction: that Ghanaians could build and run world-class mining services on African soil.
Three decades later, that conviction has been tested at some of the most technically demanding mine sites in West Africa, and it has held up. Today, Pamicor’s crews operate underground at Obuasi, Chirano, Bibiani, and across the region.
What Indigenous Capability Actually Looks Like
The case for indigenous mining companies is sometimes made in the abstract. Pamicor makes it concrete.
The company’s teams work with rigs, rock faces, and tunnels. They navigate the technical complexity of underground mine development using world-class equipment, including the Master Drilling fleet deployed through Pamicor’s strategic joint venture with Master Drilling (JSE: MDI). All of it is operated by Ghanaian engineers and technicians trained to international standards.
Pamicor operates to ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety standards and maintains a 100% L.I. 2431 compliant workforce. The zero-harm commitment is an active management system, audited and embedded in every aspect of how work is planned and executed.
From Civil Works Pioneer To Premier Underground Partner
Pamicor has evolved significantly since 1993. From its origins as a pioneer in civil and construction works, the company has grown into the premier indigenous partner for complex underground mining services in West Africa.
This evolution was the result of deliberate investment in technology, people, and partnerships. Long-term relationships with Sandvik for technical training, AngloGold Ashanti for operational collaboration, and Master Drilling for specialist shaft and raise work have each played a role.
The Future Belongs In Indigenous Hands
As Ghana’s Minerals Commission continues to strengthen local content requirements, and as global mining investors seek contractors who offer both technical credibility and regulatory compliance, Pamicor’s position becomes increasingly valuable.
The future of Ghana’s mining sector belongs in indigenous hands. Pamicor has spent 33 years proving that point underground, every single day.
