You will report to the Category Manager Building and Material Handling Equipment and work from our HQ in Zwijndrecht, Belgium.

You will take the lead in the procurement process and tendering of Machinery Equipment needed in the execution of projects within the activity lines of our DEME group. The lack of outstanding success in spite of the great increase in prospecting during the depression in the 1930's confirms the opinion of those most familiar with the occurrence of gold and the development of gold mining districts is that the best chances of success lie in systematic studies of known productive areas rather than in efforts to di. The team's main objective is to ensure that the right resources are available at the right time, in the right quantity, and at the best possible cost, while adhering to quality and safety standards.Īs a Category Buyer Machinery Equipment for DEME Group, you will implement sourcing strategies, take the lead in managing a portfolio of preferred suppliers, build up extensive market knowledge, work together with internal stakeholders to strive for best fit solutions and be an advocate of procurement best practices within the organization. Our proven wet processing solutions are modular and can easily integrate with an existing alluvial mining operation, allowing you to improve the quality of the output material which will then go through further density separation to catch the heavier gold particles.Procurement and Logistics is a critical department within DEME Group, responsible for managing the sourcing of goods and services required for the company's projects and operations. In a typical alluvial mining process physical separation methods such as screening and gravity separation are employed to separate the gold from the mineral fraction. The first stage in alluvial gold mining is to take the dredged or excavated feed material and separate the small sand faction (where the gold is found) from the larger mineral and rock fraction. Alluvial gold usually takes the form of dust, thin flakes or nuggets. The erosive power of the water removes the surrounding rock due to its comparative low density while the heavier gold resists being moved. Alluvial gold mining is the process of extracting gold from these creaks, rivers and streams and is generally considered to be the most environmentally friendly method of gold mining as a result of the reduced environmental impact when compared to underground mining.Īlluvial gold deposits form over time where a river runs, or has previously run through ground which is rich in gold.

Alluvial gold is found beneath the surface at the bottom of a creak or stream.
