Vendor portals are operated by the mining houses themselves, registration is free; be wary of anyone charging a fee for a "vendor number". Proof of residence in the mine's host municipality significantly improves your local-content scoring under the Mining Charter. Portal platforms change from time to time (Coupa / SAP Ariba), if a link has moved, search the company name + "supplier registration".
