CMAC-THYSSEN Africa Mining was founded by Mr. Claude MacDonald in 2003.
 

CMAC-THYSSEN Mining Group expanded its services to the continent of Africa by setting up a new company in Zambia.

CMAC-THYSSEN Africa Mining Ltd. is the result of an association between the parent company (CMAC-THYSSEN Mining Group) and African Mining Consultants Ltd. The latter company is a duly-registered Zambian company which specializes in consultancy services in the field of mining exploration, mining engineering and environmental concerns. This strategic partnership enables both parties to pool their capabilities, experience and expertise for the purpose of developing the African market.

 

CMAC-THYSSEN Africa Mining Ltd. adheres to associations required or recommended by its host country.
