There is a wide range of risks that mining operators face, from natural catastrophe and machinery breakdown, to potential environmental and transportation hazards, and financial risks. It can be vital for these companies and contractors to have suitable mining insurance in place.
We work with brokers to develop specialist policies that are designed to offer companies protection against a variety of mining risks, from Property Damage and Business Interruption to Machinery Breakdown.
Our senior mining insurance brokers work on every account, regardless of size or premium paid, identifying potential risks and offering bespoke solutions. No matter the size of your client’s operation, we can help them move forward with confidence.

Whilst the number of major mining disasters has reduced in recent years, new risks, such as clashes with indigenous communities and environmental issues, continue to emerge and for employees on the ground an already high risk industry is becoming ever more perilous.
In addition to the possibility of fire, flood, explosion and collapse simultaneously affecting a large number of people, employers must also be mindful of the potential for strikes, riot, civil commotion and inadequate medical infrastructure when deploying their employees overseas.
Staff members who are not faced with these risks on home soil, can often be unprepared when working abroad. It is therefore an employer’s responsibility to implement a comprehensive overseas risk management strategy.
Alesco has extensive experience working with brokers in placing domestic, international and multi-territory policies for mining companies sending their staff to high risk territories where traditional personal accident and business travel insurance policies often do not provide appropriate cover.
