From hard-rock mines and aggregate quarries to civil construction sites, MMST keeps top-hammer and down-the-hole drilling fleets productive across Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.

Where we work

Specialist support across drilling-intensive industries

Our clients operate in some of the most demanding ground conditions in the region. Whether the priority is meterage, blast quality or rig uptime, MMST pairs hands-on drilling consultancy with genuine spare parts and responsive maintenance — tuned to how each sector actually runs.

One partner, every sector

From hard-rock mines to civil drilling sites

The same top-hammer and DTH knowledge that controls fragmentation in surface and underground mines also keeps aggregate quarries fed and infrastructure programmes on schedule. Whatever the ground conditions, MMST pairs drilling consultancy with genuine spare parts and responsive maintenance.

Whether the priority is meterage, blast quality or rig uptime, we tune our support to how each industry actually runs — keeping fleets productive across Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.

Sectors

Industries built around drilling

Four core sectors where our top-hammer and DTH knowledge translates directly into better holes, lower cost-per-metre and longer component life.

Mining

Surface and underground mining operations — from the gold belts around Geita to the wider Lake Zone near Mwanza — rely on consistent, accurately drilled blast and production holes to control fragmentation and protect downstream costs. Ground conditions are abrasive and unforgiving on drifters, rods and bits.

How MMST helps: drilling consultancy to optimise penetration rates and consumable life, genuine drifter, feed and boom parts for Sandvik and Epiroc rigs, plus scheduled maintenance that keeps production fleets turning across Tanzania's mining regions.

Quarrying & Aggregates

Aggregate and dimension-stone quarries — from sites around Mwanza to limestone operations on the Coast (Pwani) region — depend on predictable bench drilling to hit target fragmentation and keep crushers fed. Rig availability and bit economy directly drive the cost of every tonne produced.

How MMST helps: we support Abubaker Quarry Services in Uganda with spare parts and drilling expertise, supplying genuine consumables and advising on drill-pattern and consumable strategy to lift productivity.

Construction & Civil Drilling

Civil and infrastructure projects — including the construction corridors around Arusha and Dodoma — require controlled drilling for foundations, road cuttings, trenching and rock excavation, often on tight schedules where unplanned downtime stalls the whole programme.

How MMST helps: rapid spare-parts supply and field service to minimise stoppages, plus practical advice on rig selection and consumables suited to the rock and the works at hand.

Drilling Contractors

Contract drillers — working everything from hard-rock mines to coal and industrial-minerals operations in the Mbeya and Songwe highlands — are judged on metres delivered and fleet uptime across multiple sites and clients. They need a parts and service partner who understands top-hammer and DTH systems as well as they do.

How MMST helps: we partner with operators such as Cata Mining (Tanzania) and Bamboo-Rock Drilling (Tanzania & Kenya), keeping rigs including the Pantera DP-series, Flexiroc T35, SmartRoc T40 and Ranger DX800 supplied and serviced.
