Construction of mining and processing plants continues to play a key role for the development of strategic sectors such as metallurgy, chemical industry, etc.
Recently, the explosive growth of green energy and other innovative industries has driven the demand for minerals, requiring increased production of ferrous and nonferrous metals around the world.
Given the depletion of mineral reserves, new approaches to building, modernizing and expanding mines, quarries and processing plants must meet the growing demands of the global economy for decades.
In most cases, these are large capital-intensive projects that require qualified specialists, well-developed infrastructure, and a strong industrial and scientific base.
The construction of a mining and processing facility involves such critical stages as a financial analysis and feasibility study, obtaining licenses and approval of the project by the local authorities, site survey, geological exploration, construction of pipelines and roads, and the laying of power lines.
This multi-stage process requires the coordinated work of numerous contractors to build the processing plant and its ancillary facilities, such as power substations and workshops, in a quality and timely manner.
In many cases, mining and processing plants are built at a significant distance from the nearest settlements, which requires a high degree of autonomy. No wonder that engineers often apply such solutions as closed water circulation, autonomous production of concrete and reinforced concrete products, production of crushed stone on site, etc.
Bonev Stroy represents a well-coordinated professional team bringing together experienced financial and technical specialists.
We offer our customers the safest and most effective solutions for every stage of the plant life cycle.

Site investigation and exploration
The success of an investment project is established at the stage of mineral exploration.
The choice of location for construction of a mine (quarry) and processing plant determines the return on investment and the length of the life cycle of the project as a whole.
Bonev Stroy with partners offers a full range of site investigation and exploration services for new sites as well as evaluation of old mines or quarries prior to reopening. We work with the best engineers and mining geologists to provide a comprehensive review of each site.
We make extensive use of advanced equipment and software to provide the customer with accurate and detailed information about the condition of the site and its development potential.
This allows us to determine very precisely the composition of the ore and the boundaries of the deposits and to plan the optimal mining and processing scenario.
Site evaluation for construction includes the following:
• Identification of mineral composition and deposits.
• Developing a mining plan and selecting the optimal technology.
• Project coordination with state and local authorities.
• Social, economic and environmental expertise of the project.
• Negotiations with the local community and other parties.
• Compilation of estimates and planning of the construction schedule.
• Selection of the most suitable mining equipment.
• Development of monitoring plans, etc.
Specialists are ready to assist the customer in acquiring a land plot for the mine construction and in obtaining official permits for the use of mineral resources.
We guarantee compliance with strict environmental and ethical principles and full compliance of the project with international standards.
In accordance with current industry practices, we perform detailed technical and economic studies, engineering design of the processing plant and auxiliary facilities, estimation of initial and operating costs, financial analysis, etc.
Project permitting and approval
The implementation of any major investment project requires close cooperation with local authorities, especially when it comes to mining and processing of minerals.
Our team has extensive experience in building partnerships with local communities and government agencies around the world.
Experience helps clients obtain licenses on optimal terms, advancing ambitious investment projects, including in developing countries with fuzzy legal frameworks and volatile policies.
We comprehensively analyze the political, economic, social and environmental conditions of projects to ensure the smooth financing and construction of mining and processing plants.
Professional services include the following:
• Detailed project studies.
• Obtaining formal exploration permits.
• A study of the project’s negative environmental effects.
• Developing environmental mitigation measures.
• Negotiating with local communities and environmentalists.
• Obtaining permits for mining operations.
• Ensuring environmental monitoring and protection.
Social responsibility, respect for the environment, the use of advanced technologies in combination with years of experience in negotiations guarantee the successful completion of the project in the shortest possible time on favorable terms.
Engineering design of processing plants
Bonev Stroy cooperates with leading European contractors, equipment manufacturers and technology suppliers for the mining industry.
We have sufficient experience in in financing plants for processing of polymetallic ores, uranium ores, phosphate ores, etc.
Professional engineering services include:
• Ore composition and structure studies.
• Development of optimal processing technology.
• Equipment design for each stage of the technological process.
• Development of detailed construction documentation.
• Estimating initial and operating costs.
• Formulation of staff requirements.
• Monitor the quality of the product, etc.
The arsenal includes a wide range of equipment for ore mining, grinding and crushing, sieving and separating, chemical processing, flotation, drying and other technological processes.
An individual approach to each investment project ensures optimum results, allowing customers to achieve their goals at the lowest possible investment.
Successfully completed mining projects in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America are the best proof of the effectiveness of our approach.
Mine engineering and construction
The construction of quarries and mines is the beginning of a long journey for every investment project.
Engineering team is ready to improve the efficiency and safety of mining at your site. Mine engineering design is always based on professional selection of mining technology combined with planning for access, water, and power supply.
Services include:
• Selection of appropriate mining technologies.
• Engineering design of mine equipment.
• Planning of routes and access roads for ore transportation.
• Planning the location and parameters of the mine shaft.
• Design of power supply, water supply, and waste disposal systems.
• Detailed technical, financial and environmental analysis.
We have considerable experience in implementing investment projects in this area and widely use advanced technologies for ore transportation and mining, energy management, waste storage and subsequent treatment.
Traditionally, fire extinguishing systems and other technical solutions that support mining safety in underground conditions play an important role in mine construction. We focus on labor productivity and personnel safety, striving to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of each facility.

Table: Stages of construction of a mining and processing plant
| Stages | Short description |
| Preparation of construction site and infrastructure | Clearing and fencing of the site, construction of access roads, pipelines, auxiliary facilities, temporary accommodation facilities and warehouses for building materials. |
| Construction of an electrical substation and transmission line | Simultaneously with site preparation, the construction team is constructing a substation and transmission line to supply power to the mine at the peak projected demand level. |
| Construction and installation of main facilities | The main mineral processing line includes a complex of equipment for grinding, separation, flotation, leaching, smelting, de-watering and drying. |
| Management of waste and natural resources | The activity of a mining and processing plant is usually associated with the generation of a significant amount of solid and liquid waste, as well as water use. The construction of sludge storage areas and slurry tanks plays an important role in ensuring the safety of such facilities. |
Together with partners, we purchase equipment from the best European manufacturers, provide logistical support and advise customers at any stage of the investment project.
Additional services include the expansion and modernization of mining and processing plants, equipment replacement, improvement of infrastructure and much more.
