About IHC Mining At IHC Mining, we develop (innovative) solutions and equipment across dry‑to‑wet mining, underwater remote mining, deep‑sea mining, and urban mining. Supporting customers throughout the entire mining cycle is a core part of our work — from early‑phase project evaluation studies, through engineering, delivery, and after‑sales support, all the way to mine closure.
