Our Story
Built over two decades. Brought to the Gulf.
Corica began with a single excavator and a simple belief — that mining done to a global standard, by people who are trained and trusted, is better mining. Two decades later, we are bringing what we built to the Gulf and the Arabian Shield.
From one machine
A business built on people
The Corica Group began with one excavator and a contract to honour. Over twenty years that grew into a mining-services business — running open-pit and underground operations for other people, to a global standard — from a single machine in Mali to thousands of people across six African countries.
What we are proudest of is not the tonnes moved. It is the crews built from the communities we worked in, and then built further. The capacity to mobilise a contract safely and fast, anywhere. The relationships earned with clients, communities and national programmes. And the motivation of a crew that knows it is as good as any in the world.
Corica Middle East’s Dubai office is now open.
What we carry with us
Skills, capacity, relationships, motivation
We build crews from the communities we work in, then build them further — operator to supervisor, supervisor to trade. National capability that stays long after the contract ends.
Twenty years of standing up open-pit and underground contracts taught us how to mobilise a safe, productive operation fast — and how to keep it that way through the life of the mine.
Trust with clients, with the communities we work among, and with the national programmes that hold us to account. Local value is built into the contract, not bolted on.
A crew that knows it is as good as any in the world works differently. Pride in a job done properly — safely, to plan, to standard — is the quiet engine behind every tonne.
Why the Middle East
We are arriving to earn it
The Gulf and the Arabian Shield are a new region for us — not a new discipline. We are bringing the same things we built over two decades: safety as the foundation, the skills ladder that turns local hires into leaders, commercial discipline tailored to every contract, and local value built into every mobilisation plan and aligned to national mining visions.
We are not arriving with an answer. We are arriving to earn one — alongside the crews, the communities and the national ambitions that make mining in this region what it is.
About Corica Middle East →How a conversation becomes a mine
From first conversation to mobilisation
Corica's regional platform is being established so project owners can move from early discussion to mobilisation with a clear operating path — scope, people, machines, safety systems, local compliance and reporting discipline aligned before work begins.
- 01
Project discussion & scope
Orebody, schedule, constraints and what success looks like for the owner.
- 02
Technical & commercial review
Method, fleet and cost model built from Group operating data — not benchmarks.
- 03
Local compliance & contracting
Entity, licensing and local-content structure agreed before commitment.
- 04
Fleet & people mobilisation plan
Machines, crews, training and camp sequenced against the mine plan.
- 05
Site mobilisation & operating cadence
Safety systems live before the first shift; reporting cadence agreed with the client.
Build it with us
We are hiring the founding team and talking to the clients who want mining done properly across the region.
