Background of PGC
The PGC [Pretorius Group of Companies], as it stands known today, originated from a freelance mine survey company, established by Eugene Pretorius in 1982. Although the group started with provision of mine and technical services, the activities were diversified into opencast mining in 1988, with involvement in Trojan Opencast Mining, and later Atlantis Mining.
With the introduction of the MPRDA and associated mining and mineral legislation in the new millennium Precision Opencast Mining Services [Pty] Ltd was established in 2003, as a family concern [Eugene Snr, Eugene Jnr, Stephan and Tanya Museler and Lisa Desmond], with the associated group companies being established afterwards, in support of the PGC Group, with the aim of offering a total opencast mining service to new emerging South African mining concerns and ventures.
The growth and success of the group can only be attributed to its people, who are handpicked for their integrity, work ethic and their ability to adapt to, and contribute to, the changing face of South African business, and specifically the South African mining industry. The PGC team has progressed beyond a family concern, and now consists of experts in the different mining and management disciplines.
