Production Consulting
Aligning production planning with realistic offtake and logistics capacity — ramp-up planning, yield analysis and operational readiness.
01 · Who We Are
Tirego and Associates is a South African mining consultancy specialising in production optimisation, logistics coordination and export sales of minerals and commodities.
We combine operational mining knowledge, rail-allocation expertise and commodity trading experience to give junior and mid-tier producers a bankable route from the pit to the port.
Capacity Secured for Producers
Dedicated monthly rail slot secured
Combined rail and road-haulage solution
Combined rail and trucking solution
Our Rail Sector Advantage
Branch-line access, siding allocations and long-haul slots are tightly held. Junior and mid-tier producers are routinely crowded out in favour of larger, established shippers.
Tirego's standing relationships within the rail sector open slots and capacity unavailable through conventional channels — combined with road haulage where rail alone cannot clear the volume.
02 · What We Do
Aligning production planning with realistic offtake and logistics capacity — ramp-up planning, yield analysis and operational readiness.
Securing rail slots, wagon allocations and complementary road haulage — the full chain from mine to port, commercially managed.
Structuring export agreements and connecting producers to qualified offtakers — pricing, FOB/FCA terms and clean documentation.
The Chain We Design and Manage
Production plan and ROM-to-product yield
Loading access and allocation
Slots, wagons and multi-modal haulage
Stockpile, blending and handling
Vessel nomination and clean export docs
