Completing over 25,000 meters of ramp, level, and raise development each year, Procon
has the resources to excavate, support, and service any project. Developing in hard
rock or soft rock makes no difference; Procon will get the job done.
With the largest underground production fleet of any underground contractor, Procon
provides full production contract mining services, including mine management. If
your project requires longhole stoping, cut & fill mining, drift & fill, room &
pillar, shrinkage stoping, narrow vein open stoping, or specialized techniques,
Procon has done it all. Whether it is base metals, precious metals, uranium, salt,
or any other type of mineral you are after, Procon has likely completed a project
similar to yours.
