GHH Going for Gold in Bulgaria

German-based machine manufacturer GHH has expanded its market share in Bulgaria, selling a double-digit number of machines to Breznik Minerals Ltd. The Bulgarian company is part of the group of companies of Assarel-Medet JSC, which is the first, largest and leading Bulgarian mining company for open pit mining and copper ore processing.

The acquired machines will be operated in the Breznik gold mining project, which is the first underground greenfield mine in Bulgaria for more than 50 years. The order consists of LF-7 diesel load haul dumpers, MK-20 and MK-30 diesel dump trucks. The LHDs are designed for a payload of 7000 kg in bucket sizes up to 4 m3. GHH advertises the vehicle as having the best loading performance in its class at only 2200 mm total height fully laden. It is powered by a 164 kW Tier3/4/Stage5 engine, comes with a robust design and offers extra safety and comfort for the driver.

Delivery of the first batch will be in the third quarter of 2024 with the remainder scheduled for the end of the second quarter of 2025. “We are looking forward to the delivery of their first GHH machines”, said Krum Hristov, one of the founders of Strotech Engineering JSC, a construction, industrial and mining equipment specialist based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
