In any mining operation, understanding the geology of the orebody and waste rocks is fundamental for successful resource estimation, geotechnical engineering, mine planning and mineral processing. Better geological interpretations at the mine scale improve grade control, mine planning and profitability. Companies want to generate value from their projects, financiers want to maximise return on secure investment, and regulators want transparency and adherence to reporting guidelines.
-
Our experience with all types of mining projects on every continent includes surface and underground mines, slope stability and strata control, rock engineering, acid rock drainage, waste engineering and environmental monitoring and management.
-
Existing operations benefit from our audits and engineering services.
-
We help to optimise head grades and increase tonnage, analyse and reduce risk and improve safety and manpower requirements.
-
Evaluating the real economic potential of low-grade massive deposits is challenging, especially early in the development of underground mines.
Profitable mining demands independent, experienced, long-term perspective that gives you real answers:
- How much do you have?
- Do you have a mine?
- Is it feasible?
- What is the optimal design?
