A mining procurement company with deep industry roots
We are a Group Purchasing Organization for the mining industry – a member-driven performance improvement company that delivers procurement solutions and supply chain efficiencies across all spending categories.
We empower members' procurement teams with easy access to quality and cost-effective supply partners. We engage with global and local communities and answer procurement and supply chain challenges with opportunities only possible through collaboration.
Co-founded by Lee Barter and Ben-Schoeman Geldenhuys, Tamarack is based on decades of international experience working in mining procurement and supply chain, with global and regional producers. As partners at a leading consulting firm in their previous careers, they have built exceptional mining relationships, both locally and globally.
Lee is an expert in mining sourcing and procurement and Ben-Schoeman has worked in the mining industry as a tax lawyer across two continents.
“I’ve worked with the Tamarack team at mines in Peru, Argentina and the US. Lee and his team have consistently produced significant AISC savings, even in technically demanding procurement categories. The key differentiator is how they work with the mining operations teams to find value, without compromising supplier quality and safety performance.”
