The Thyssen Mining Group of Companies is a leading worldwide team providing full-service underground development and mining contracting.
Thyssen Mining’s history in North America began in the 1960s when the Thyssen business in Germany exported its knowledge of shaft sinking and ground freezing to Canada to service the potash industry in Saskatchewan.
In the mid-1990s, TMCC saw opportunities in the western United States, particularly in the gold sector and particularly in Nevada. The U.S. operation was conducted as a branch operation of TMCC, which was a suitable structure for a burgeoning U.S. business. Early in the second decade of the 2000s, the future of the U.S. market looked promising with work available in Nevada, Alaska, New Mexico, and other states. Thyssen Mining Inc. (“TMI”) was established as a subsidiary of TMCC. Following its inception, TMI completed successful shaft sinking, decline, development, and cavern projects. TMI’s operations continue to contribute significantly to the Thyssen Mining business, with ongoing high-profile projects in Nevada and South Dakota.
From the sinking of the first shaft to the present, Thyssen Mining has been privileged to work with many mining companies around the world.
