OUR THREE SIMPLE RULES FOR GREAT MINES
OPTIMIZED MINE PLANS.
Our mining engineers have a proven record of delivering exceptional open pit and underground life-of-mine (LoM) plans for projects with varying levels of maturity and commodities worldwide. We combine operational experience and state of the art integrated strategic planning techniques to maximize net asset value (NAV).
JUST RIGHT PLANTS.
Neither over-designed, nor under-designed, we build plants that are just right. Our technical team builds fit for purpose plants, from concept to commissioning. We have seen what works and what doesn’t based on extensive commissioning and operational experience. Our team has created significant value for due diligence projects including excess reduction, fatal flaws analysis, and provided investment recommendations.
INTEGRATED AT THE CORE.
We leverage the power of true integration across our core disciplines of mining/geology and mineral processing or infrastructure to tackle any technical challenge. Our collaborative structure and streamlined communication encourage teamwork and cross-functional problem solving. The result is accelerated delivery and optimized value. We can critically assess what the value drivers are across the project, from the ore deposits to the finished product.
THE OPTIMIZE ADVANTAGE
GET THE A-TEAM.
Our leadership team has a reputation for building high-performing teams and consistently delivering project value from scoping studies to commissioning. We provide bespoke training and true mentorship. The foundation of our culture is based on trust and is co-created to bring out the best in everyone.
NO EMPTY PROMISES.
We do what is right, not what is easy. We don’t make excuses and our word is our commitment. We provide high quality work, delivered efficiently. We are passionate and driven. And you can count on us to work with transparency and honesty. Good or bad, we will tell you. Your challenges matter to us.
WE TURN CHALLENGES INTO INNOVATION.
We are always looking to do things better, add more value, solve real problems, and leverage innovation to keep you ahead of the game. We are committed to continuous improvement and advancing the mining industry through collaboration with our various partners.
HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Mining is essential to maintain and improve the lives of everyone on the planet. It is not a question of whether we mine, it is a question of how. We support project development and continuous improvement initiatives that consider environmental and social factors. We are in business for the long term and strive for sustaining value through the actions we take and the relationships we create.
