The Mining & Resources Insurance Challenge
A mine collapse, equipment breakdown, or environmental liability claim can cost tens of millions and shut down operations for months. Kenya's mining sector — from titanium in Kwale to gold in western Kenya — and the broader African extractive industry faces risks that standard commercial insurance cannot adequately cover. Acentria Mining Insurance is built specifically for the sector: specialist underwriters, Lloyd's-backed capacity, and claims expertise for the continent's most complex industrial risks.
- Underground collapses and surface subsidence creating catastrophic loss scenarios
- Heavy equipment breakdown — drill rigs, haul trucks, and processing plant — halting production
- Environmental liability from tailings, acid mine drainage, and chemical spills
- Workers' injury in high-hazard underground and surface mining environments
- Political and security risk including expropriation and artisanal mining conflicts
- Mineral in transit — cargo theft and damage on mine-to-port corridors
