    MASPRO’s 42% order surge: supply-chain lessons for mine maintenance teams

    MASPRO’s 42% order surge: supply-chain lessons for mine maintenance teams

    First reported on Australian Mining

    30 Second Briefing

    MASPRO has logged 42 per cent year-to-date growth in orders for 2025 as it scales a mining supply chain model built around high-availability wear parts and rapid dispatch for crushers, drills and loaders. The company focuses on stocking critical spares close to major Australian mining hubs and using data on failure rates and maintenance cycles to pre-position components, cutting unplanned downtime windows that can cost large sites hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour. For maintenance and reliability teams, the approach shifts planning from reactive procurement to scheduled component change-outs with tighter lead-time risk.

    Technical Brief

    • MASPRO’s inventory strategy centres on high-wear components for crushers, production drills and underground loaders.
    • Stockholding is concentrated near major Australian mining hubs to minimise line-haul and last‑mile delays.
    • Component selection is driven by recorded failure modes and mean time between failures from operating fleets.
    • Maintenance cycle data are used to forecast demand curves for specific machine models and duty regimes.
    • MASPRO’s dispatch model is structured around rapid pick–pack–ship workflows rather than build-to-order manufacturing.
    • Reliability teams gain access to component performance histories, supporting root-cause analysis of repeat failures.
    • OEM-equivalent or improved metallurgy and surface treatments are used to extend wear life in abrasive ores.
    • Similar data-led stocking models are increasingly being trialled on mobile plant tyres, GET and hydraulic assemblies.

    Our Take

    A 42 per cent year-to-date order uplift in 2025 signals that MASPRO’s locally manufactured components are gaining traction just as many Australian mines are trying to shorten supply chains after recent freight bottlenecks highlighted in our other maintenance and parts coverage.

    Because MASPRO operates in Australia rather than importing most parts, this growth likely gives mid-tier operators more leverage to negotiate shorter lead times and smaller batch orders, which is often a constraint when dealing with overseas OEM supply hubs.

    Within our 304 Mining stories, MASPRO is one of only a few equipment-component specialists repeatedly covered, suggesting that reliability and availability of drill and wear parts are becoming board-level issues rather than just procurement concerns at Australian sites.

    Holcim electric mining fleet in Poland: charging design lessons for quarry engineers

    Holcim is expanding its electric mining equipment fleet at the 2 Mt/y Małogoszcz cement plant in Poland, backed by completion of the second stage of a dedicated charging station for its quarry vehicles. The large captive limestone quarry is being used as a testbed to run battery-electric mining units in a continuous production environment, with infrastructure scaled to support multiple heavy-duty machines. For geotechnical and quarry operators, the project offers an early full-scale reference for integrating high-capacity charging into hard rock extraction logistics.

    Wheaton’s billion‑dollar streaming push: portfolio and cost‑curve notes for mine teams

    Wheaton Precious Metals’ new CEO Haytham Hodaly plans to make multi‑billion‑dollar streams, like this year’s US$4.3‑billion silver deal on BHP’s Antamina copper‑zinc mine in Peru, a roughly annual feature as the company deploys about US$4.7 billion in 2026 while keeping over US$2.5 billion in undrawn credit. Wheaton forecasts production rising from 803,000 to 1.2 million gold‑equivalent oz. between 2025 and 2030 from 22 producing assets and more than 20 development projects, with about 80% of its portfolio in the lower half of the cost curve. Newer contracts link ongoing payments to a percentage of spot prices rather than fixed escalators, modestly raising Wheaton’s unit costs but easing long‑term pressure on operators’ cash flow and balance sheets.

    Captura–ElectraLith lithium partnership: process and cost lens for mine planners

    Captura and ElectraLith are integrating Captura’s bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) stacks with ElectraLith’s direct lithium extraction and refining (DLE-R) system in two commercial-scale pilot plants targeting US lithium supply. The DLE-R process is designed to treat multiple brine resources and produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide or carbonate at purities above 99.5%, while BMED aims to cut energy use and capital cost in electrochemical separation. Captura will supply BMED stacks to ElectraLith for at least five years, with pilot commissioning planned for early 2027 to test combined performance at near-commercial scale.
