Mine Planning Consultants

Specialist Mine Planning Consultants For Optimised Mining Operations

In the mining industry, effective mine planning is critical for maximising the value of mineral resources, optimising mining operations, and ensuring sustainable outcomes across the full mining cycle. Large mining organisations face significant challenges, including siloed data across different source systems, teams, and sites, which can make it difficult to integrate planning processes efficiently.

Our mine planning consultants provide expert technical services and planning solutions to help mining companies overcome these challenges. With deep knowledge of operational and financial drivers, we support strategic planning, from pre-feasibility and feasibility studies to operational optimisation, mine closure planning, and life-of-mine forecasting.

Consulting Services Tailored To The Mining Industry

Our consulting services are designed to deliver confidence, insights and measurable outcomes for clients across all stages of a mining project.

We provide:

• Detailed feasibility studies and pre-feasibility analysis covering commodities such as iron ore, coal, and other mineral resources.
• Strategic guidance on mine design, operational optimisation, and the key drivers of open pit and underground mining performance.
• Support for regulatory compliance, public reporting and environmental planning.
• Training and upskilling for client teams, enhancing capabilities in mining engineering, data analysis and operational planning.
• Comprehensive technical services spanning exploration, project development, mine operations and eventual mine closure.

Our approach ensures that every project benefits from tailored mining solutions, optimised planning systems, and cost-effective strategies that improve performance across the mining cycle.
