About Minserv

• Headed up by Prof Fred Cawood, Minserv is a services company operating principally in the minerals sector.
• Its focus is to provide a service and to do research for developing the answers to some of the many twenty-first century questions and problems facing the sector in a developing country context. Responsible conversion of resources in the ground gives benefit above the ground and such benefit spreads along the value chain.
• A resource can only be converted into money if it comes out of the ground – money that can be used to pay the costs of mining while ensuring enough profit to benefit everyone. Such economical extraction for benefit happens when skilled people use advanced mining systems. A developing country must work with what it has at its disposal.
• This means that resources in the ground and people on top of the ground must unite for benefit and prosperity. 
• Such unification of natural resources and people for benefit is the Minserv mission for responsible mining.
• This happens when the policies and laws are of an enabling nature – demanding efficiency and professionalism.
• The Minserv logo illustrates this using an arrow carrying benefit and opportunity from underground resources to the people living on top of them.
