Specialty insurance

Mining & exploration

Start with the project stage, location and work involved in your mining or exploration operation.

Who we can help

A closer look at your exposure.

Exploration businesses, mining operators and contractors providing drilling, field services or support to mine sites.

Remote locations, heavy equipment, contractors and changing project stages require a detailed submission. Distinguish exploration, construction, active production and care-and-maintenance activities before discussing insurance options.

What to discuss with your broker

Property & mobile equipment

Describe equipment values, site protection, transport arrangements and access to repairs or replacement.

Liability & contracts

Review site responsibilities, contractor agreements, third-party exposures and required insurance limits.

Environmental exposures

Discuss substances handled, water and waste management, spill response and specialist environmental insurance questions.

Interruption & project dependencies

Identify power, access, key machinery and suppliers that could affect the project after insured damage.

These are areas to consider, not a promise of coverage. Options, exclusions, limits and availability depend on the insurer and your circumstances.

Have a useful first conversation.

If available, have the following information ready. Your broker will tell you what is needed for a formal submission.

  • Project description, locations and current development stage
  • Equipment schedules, values and transportation routes
  • Contracts, subcontractors, safety and emergency response plans
  • Environmental information, existing policies and loss history

A question worth asking

Can an exploration policy follow a project into production?

A change in project stage should be reviewed before work changes. Your broker will need updated operations and values to discuss whether current terms remain suitable or a different placement is needed.

Make the next step an informed one.
