    Magna Tyres’ new CFO and M&A push: supply and cost notes for mine operators

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Dutch off-road tyre specialist Magna Tyres Group has appointed Arnold van Woerkum as CFO as it accelerates an international expansion strategy built around recent acquisitions such as Belgian distributor Forrez. The group forecasts annual turnover of about €275m in 2026 and is targeting €650m by 2029, signalling a substantial scale-up in supply capacity for OTR, construction and mining tyres. Van Woerkum, who joined in 2025 after more than a decade at Van Mossel Automotive Group, will tighten financial control and structure future M&A to support this growth.

    Technical Brief

    • Strengthening the “financial organisation” implies tighter budgeting, cash-flow control and capex governance for tyre inventory.
    • Enhanced financial control is likely to underpin long-lead procurement of large OTR and mining tyre sizes.
    • Structured M&A focus suggests further regional distributors or niche manufacturers could be targeted for bolt-on deals.
    • For mine operators, a larger, better-capitalised tyre group can reduce supply risk on critical haulage tyres.

    Our Take

    Within our 1312 Mining stories, tyre and automotive supply-chain pieces like Magna Tyres Group are relatively rare, signalling that this M&A-driven growth push sits more on the mining services and consumables side than on core extraction projects.

    The step-up from an expected €275m turnover in 2026 to a €650m target by 2029 implies that Magna Tyres Group will likely need further acquisitions or aggressive geographic expansion beyond the United Kingdom to sustain that trajectory, rather than relying on organic growth alone.

    Because this item is tagged under both Product and Projects, it underlines how tyre suppliers such as Magna Tyres Group are increasingly framed as strategic project partners in our database, especially for large mining and construction fleets where tyre availability can be a critical path risk.

    Cadillac’s Kerr-Addison drilling: open-pit resource and design notes for engineers

    Lassonde-backed Cadillac Mines reports infill drilling at the Kerr-Addison project in Ontario, with standout hole KAD26-428T cutting 23 m at 3.08 g/t gold from 259 m, including 6.4 m at 5.26 g/t, and KAD26-397 returning 38 m at 2.13 g/t from 192 m, supporting a larger open-pit resource case. The company is about two-thirds through a 17,850 m infill programme within the current pit shell, part of a 145,000 m, C$65 million 2026 drilling budget using 11 diamond rigs. Kerr-Addison currently hosts 78.5 Mt indicated at 1.34 g/t (3.38 Moz) and 25.9 Mt inferred at 2.66 g/t (2.21 Moz), with new drilling targeting lesser-tested footwall zones and step-outs northeast of existing blocks.

    Ima tungsten resource in Idaho: project economics and restart lens for engineers

    An initial mineral resource at American Tungsten’s Ima project in northeast Idaho defines 316,000 indicated tonnes at 0.55% WO₃ (1,747 tonnes WO₃) plus 404,000 oz silver, and 2.1 million inferred tonnes at 0.55% WO₃ containing 11,933 tonnes WO₃ and 1.8 million oz silver, making it Idaho’s highest-grade primary tungsten project. The estimate also includes 267,000 tonnes of historical surface tailings at 0.15% WO₃ (413 tonnes WO₃), supporting a Phase I tailings processing route alongside Phase II underground drilling, rehabilitation and restart planning. Based on 5,180 metres of recent drilling and historical data, the resource underpins work towards a preliminary economic assessment and positions Ima as a potential U.S. tungsten supply source amid Chinese export controls.

    BHP–MIT SiTration copper recovery trial at Copper Cities: process notes for engineers

    BHP and MIT spinout SiTration are piloting a chemical-free copper recovery technology at the historic Copper Cities mine in Arizona, targeting legacy mining water in a pit lake at a site that produced nearly 400,000 tonnes of copper between the 1950s and early 1980s. An initial one‑month pilot will validate continuous, autonomous production, followed by a larger two‑month deployment aiming to produce up to 2 tonnes of LME Grade A copper cathode. Bench tests using real site feedstock report sub‑3–4 kWh/kg energy use with no new waste streams, signalling potential low‑cost recovery from mining‑impacted waters across the US Southwest.
