In a conference center in Edmonton that spills down the hill I met Cobus Viljoen. His accent was that of my grandmother and her Dutch South African ancestors. So now i return the favor.
Cobus runs a company called Global Mining Support Group, or GMS for short. Basically they arrange to buy things for mines and ship such things to the mines. That can be a challenge in Africa. And they meet the challenge.
Now Cobus and GMS are looking for a Canadian or United States partner. He would like to joint venture. I wish I were younger, for I would grab this opportunity. But being more aware of my limitations than politicians older than me, I defer, and pass the opportunity on to the world—or at least those who read this blog.
Contact him if you are interested.
I completely enjoyed this story!
Given the nature of mines and their remoteness, this could prove to be a one-of-a-kind business. How many FEDEX trucks do you expect to find in the middle of nowhere, about 3 plus hours away from their nearest neighbor? Well, I’m sure these guys have it covered and they’ll be making some money on it! I only wish I had some money to invest. Ah, if I could only be one of their joint venturers.
