Stop Managing Suppliers. Start Managing Outcomes.

Sourcing grinding media, mill liners, and bucket teeth from three different suppliers means three quality risks, three logistics chains, and three relationships to manage when something goes wrong. APG MINEX consolidates all three into a single, technically managed program.

SUPPLY INTERRUPTIONS

The fragmented wear parts supply model is the industry default. It is also costing operations more than the sum of its parts — in quality gaps, logistics inefficiency, and accountability failures that no single supplier is responsible for resolving.

01 // The Coordination Problem

Why Three Suppliers Is Three Times the Risk

The fragmented wear parts supply model is the industry default — and it’s costing operations far more than the sum of its parts. When grinding media, mill liners, and bucket teeth are sourced independently:

  • Quality standards differ between suppliers, creating compatibility issues that no single vendor is responsible for resolving
  • Logistics are uncoordinated — leading to overstocking some components and stockouts on others
  • When a quality problem occurs, suppliers point at each other rather than at the solution
  • Your procurement team spends management time on tactical supply issues instead of strategic operations

APG MINEX eliminates this by acting as your single technical point of accountability for the complete wear parts matrix.

02 // The Integrated Supply Model

One Partner. Three Systems. Total Accountability.

Grinding Media (High-Chrome & Forged) Specification management, quality protocol execution, inventory planning, and batch traceability for your complete grinding media program. One standard. One quality report. One contact.

Mill Liners (High-Mn & Chrome-Moly) Custom liner profiles matched to your mill geometry and ore type, sourced from our alloy liner foundry partner under Alliance quality oversight. Liner and media specifications are coordinated by the same engineering team.

Bucket Teeth & Adapters OEM-compatible and custom-engineered G.E.T. components, vacuum investment-cast, 100% NDT tested, individually certified. Inventory planning tied to your excavation schedule — not to a catalogue minimum order.

The Coordination Advantage: Because we manage all three systems, we can identify and resolve compatibility issues before they reach your operation. A change in ore hardness that affects your media specification also affects your liner wear rate — and we see both.

03 // 1,000+ Days of Continuous Supply Is the Benchmark.

SUPPLY RELIABILITY

01
Our supply reliability claim is not theoretical. We maintained uninterrupted wear parts supply for a Tier-1 Lithium project in West Africa across a 3-year Long-Term Agreement — managing the logistical complexity of remote site delivery, critical mineral supply chain requirements, and the ESG oversight demands of a globally listed mining company.
02
What makes supply continuity possible at that level:
04 // THE LTA FRAMEWORK

Long-Term Agreements Built Around Your Operation.

For operations with stable, predictable wear parts consumption, Alliance offers Long-Term Agreement structures that deliver:

  • Fixed or indexed pricingover the agreement period — eliminating commodity price exposure in your consumables budget
  • Priority production scheduling— your orders move to the front of the manufacturing queue
  • Dedicated inventory buffer— maintained at origin to protect against logistics disruption
  • Annual technical review— we review specification performance and update recommendations based on operational data
  • Simplified procurement— fewer POs, less administration, more predictability
