Black Seam Collective

Formed in AF17, The Black Seam Collective was brought together with a singular purpose - to build a company on the foundations of collaborative and inclusive management, and a collective commitment to value the contributions and safety of the owner-operators that make up the backbone of the business. The fortunes of the company prioritize investors and the owner-operator stakeholders alike, and has an underlying aim to make the mining world realize that profits don't have to sacrifice the miners. The company works as a strategic alliance across a myriad of industries working together with the Black Seam Collective to build strong and profitable mining projects throughout the system.   The Collective’s property in Eridani consists of two key projects – Alleghany and Bristol – that comprise a historical and current mineral resource endowment of more than 10 million Ozs on contiguous property. Despite having more than 50 years of mining history, the district never consolidated until the company brought their vision to the region.   With the support of mining friendly jurisdictions insystem, no security issues, and access to the site and necessary infrastructure, operation of these prime projects is sure to bring in the kind of production they are aiming for. Plans are to scale up extraction of the commodity minerals to a large-scale source at the sites. After thorough exploration costing more than $70 million historically (inflation adjusted), the Collective is ready to scale up and mine the rewards of their patience.
