Critical Minerals & Mining

Our critical minerals and mining security teams help protect mine sites, processing areas, transport corridors, workforce movements, and high-value mineral supply chains in complex and contested environments. SOM provides threat and vulnerability assessments, site security planning, corridor protection, ESG/SLO support, local-force development, and security-force training to reduce disruption, protect production, and strengthen community trust.

​

The problem:

Critical minerals and mining operations face serious risks: illegal mining, theft, smuggling, protests, labor unrest, insider threats, corruption pressure, community instability, logistics disruption, and attacks on transport routes or supply-chain nodes. These threats can stop production, increase insurance exposure, damage investor confidence, and weaken the company’s social license to operate.

S.O.M solution:

SOM builds security programs for mining and critical minerals operations by combining threat and vulnerability assessments, mine-site security, corridor and convoy protection, access-control planning, local-force development, civil affairs support, ESG/SLO alignment, and emergency-response planning. Our approach helps operators protect people, assets, production, and community relationships.​
