Our mining consulting services cover each phase in the project life cycle, from preliminary assessment to scoping, prefeasibility, feasibility and detail engineering for open pit and underground mines.
Our Specialists and Principal Mining Associates are experienced in working on diverse mine designs and project development from exploration and conceptual stages to feasibility studies, construction and environmental reviews for a range of projects in South, Central and North America. These projects include copper, gold, iron and polymetallic ore deposits in both open pit and underground mines.
Supporting mining disciplines include:
Exploration geology
- Design of exploration campaigns and drill targets, site drilling supervision and geological and geometallurgical modelling
Resources geology
- UG´s modelling, geostatistic and resource estimation and categories, Jorc and NI 43-101 reporting
Geotechnical geology
