Haile Gold Mine is a Game Changer in S.C.

Haile Gold Mine is revolutionizing the state’s economy by creating more than 800 jobs in the community and bringing in millions of dollars annually in revenue to South Carolina.

Blanchard Machinery is working strenuously to support the Haile Gold Mine and the community. For the first four to six months, there will be an on-site support team that will work eight-hour shifts, five days a week. Once that is in place, Blanchard will be moving to a 24/7 parts and service operation for the next 10+ years. The company plans to follow Haile Gold Mine’s lead on shifts and schedules and will adapt with as the mine grows and expands.

“Our success to the date has been our transparent and devoted support along with our willingness to come up with creative ways to help them mitigate some of their issues or roadblocks,” said Lee Rafford, Branch Operations Manager at Blanchard. “We will be looking to support as many as 300 contractors on-site while still giving priority to Haile Gold Mine. Blanchard will be present in many different areas from rental equipment, generators, CAT powered water and waste pumps, light carts and over 30 piece of Caterpillar equipment that they will own.”

This partnership between Haile Gold Mine and Blanchard Machinery will transform South Carolina for the better. With an increase in available jobs and profit for the state, the success of the mine is an incredible asset for our community. Blanchard is dedicated to ensuring that Haile has all the support and equipment that it needs to succeed.
