About Us

Mine Source Limited is an auction company specializing in Mining & Heavy Equipment. Since 2002, we have helped companies throughout Canada and the United States sell their surplus equipment in a simple, transparent and accountable way.

We come to you! Our team handles the entire process, cataloguing equipment on-site, completing market evaluations, photographing and organizing listings, marketing your assets to our large network of qualified buyers, hosting the auction, managing payments, and coordinating pickup. Your equipment never moves until you are paid in full and there are no upfront costs for our service. Our goal is to maximize your return while keeping the entire experience hassle-free.

Mine Source is run by Scott Martin, who brings more than 30 years of hands-on mining experience and Mark Alexander, a founding member who helped establish the company in 2002 after years in mine decommissioning. Mark is also a Certified Canadian Personal Property Appraiser (CPPA), ensuring equipment evaluations meet recognized professional standards. Together with our team, we bring practical industry knowledge, strong communication and a commitment to doing things properly.

More than twenty years in, our approach remains the same: be straightforward, be fair, and make selling heavy equipment easier for everyone. We know mining & heavy equipment and we work hard to make sure that shows in every auction we run.

Don’t just take our word for it, here is what our vendors have to say..

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mine Source Auctions in Sudbury, and I can confidently say they are second to none when it comes to professionalism, reliability, and customer service. From start to finish, the experience has been seamless, thanks in large part to Scott Martin and his outstanding team.

Scott goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is handled with care. His knowledge of the mining and industrial equipment market is impressive, and his willingness to provide guidance and support at every step makes a real difference. Whether it's answering questions, helping navigate the auction process, or offering honest advice, Scott is always approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping his clients succeed.
