Mining Studies

To us, mining studies are more than just cashflow optimisation or drill, blast, load, and haul. They are about bringing together each of the disciplines required to support a mining operation. They are about understanding the complexities, uncertainties, and risks to bring a mining operation into reality.

Operational Support

Experienced mining engineers that deliver efficiently are hard to come by. We help increase the capabilities of your team whether between hiring or providing surge capacity when your team is overloaded. We’re also passionate about providing the mentoring, training and guidance to early career professionals. We aim to make sure we leave operations better than we found them.

Due Diligence Reviews

Conducting due diligence on mining operations often involves getting the best understanding of the operation and identifying key project risks as quickly as possible, This means looking at the big picture and then diving into the detail. All the while, we’re always on the lookout for potential upside too.

Training and Mentoring

There’s a huge difference between sending a technical person on a course or to a conference to soak up information compared to getting hands on experience from someone who’s done it before. Whether setting up new systems or providing exposure to new aspects of mining engineering, we’re here to help the next generation of mining professionals.

Study Management

We bring into our study management the knowledge that mining is interconnected and embedded in a complex system, rather than a set of siloed technical disciplines. We adopt a collaborative style amongst technical professionals, with transparent and real time communication, so that the study can achieve its objectives efficiently.

Mining Cost Estimation

We prepare our mine designs with mining costs in mind. Our experience on various operations, obtaining mining contractor quotes, contractor evaluation, implementing and managing mining contracts, and preparing first principles based cost estimates means we can provide a reasonable cost estimate within the level of accuracy you’re looking to achieve.

Mine Decarbonisation

Mining decarbonisation requires input from mining engineers to incorporate decarbonisation parameters back into mine optimisation and design. We have experience in providing mining engineering expertise into decarbonisation studies, options trade-offs and scenario analysis, and are ready to contribute to your organisation meeting its decarbonisation goals.
