Mine planning and design services:

A successful mining project starts with a plan. We help our clients to arrive at a thoughtful and a financially optimal design. We provide mining method and equipment selection advice, material handling systems and plant design, waste rock management system design, ore dilution optimization. 

Our services include:

·         open-pit mine planning;

·         underground mine planning;

·         groundwater flow & dewatering;

·         mine method selection design;

·         geotechnics & rock mechanics;

·         equipment selection & logistics.

Processing systems:

We support all aspects of mineral processing, from initial ore sampling and pilot-scale testing to front-end engineering and design. We cover processing systems for crushing, grading and cleaning ore, separation, flotation, and the separation of solids from liquids. Our range of services, from lab testing and mineralogical analysis, final beneficiation method selection:

·         laboratory and pilot-scale testing;
