Mining & Minerals

Extensive Portfolio

PLG brings extensive experience and a strong understanding of the minerals industry and what it takes to leverage logistics as a competitive advantage within the sector.  We have developed a stong portfolio by working with some of the world's most respected minerals producers and at some of the world's largest mining sites. 

Broad Experience

We have helped producers of lime, sodium sulphate, sand, and other mined materials reduce logistics costs and achieve best-in-class operational standards.  With a strong understanding of the transportation-depedent nature of these materials, our services have helped create mode and carrier competition, streamline railcar fleets, optimize mine and processing facility rail layouts, and leverage logistics to penetrate new markets.

Frac Sand

PLG is also deeply involved in the growing frac sand market, helping oil and gas producers to design and implement sand distribution networks to support hydraulic fracturing activities in the various shale gas extraction areas of North America.
