AEGIS London has launched a new consortium that increases its miner rescue insurance coverage from $10 million to $25 million, targeting hard rock and precious metal mines primarily in Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Latin America. This insurance product is designed to provide essential support during mining accidents, offering services such as recovery operation funding, public relations assistance, and real-time situational reporting through advanced technology like Integra’s Tellintegra portal. The consortium, comprising several insurers, aims to enhance communication and decision-making during rescue efforts, ultimately focusing on saving lives. AEGIS London, operating within the Lloyd’s insurance market, has established itself as a significant player in this sector since its inception in 1999.
