MEC Mining was engaged by ASX listed company operating an open cut mine in Scandinavia to undertake a full review of their deposit and to produce a Life of Mine (LOM). The goal was a plan that was to be both sustainable and achievable whilst maximising economical mining reserves and confidence. MEC produced a plan with the following strengths: 

A major multinational mining company was seeking assistance with improving the mines performance due to pressures resulting from low commodities prices. MEC supplied an experienced Principal Mining Engineer to audit the sites performance and work with the management team to develop a strategy to improve the sites performance. This review resulted in a multi-pronged strategy to target:

With the experience gained from a variety of different mining backgrounds and a good mix of operational and planning experience MEC is able to provide a holistic and common sense approach to feasibility studies. By assessing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats presented by various mining scenarios, the team is able to differentiate between what could be achieved and what will be achieved.  This in turn produces best practice mining solutions, produces real world outcomes and provides a high degree of confidence in all projects undertaken for ours clients. 

This process of applying realistic evaluations to Life of Mine Plans (LOM) was utilised by MEC at an iron ore mine in Scandinavia where impracticable costs were used to create an optimised pit. By drawing on the pool of knowledge at MEC an updated pit shell was developed which when scheduled removed significant ore gaps within the LOM.

Our Mining Advisory Team is agile and cover a broad range of projects for our clients. One day you could be on-site conducting Mine Audits or Mine Project Reviews and the next day you could be back in the office working on a Due Diligence Study or Mining Project Evaluation. But no matter what your assignment it, MEC Mining has an engrained focus on leveraging the combined knowledge of our team to deliver quality outcomes.

This webinar, focusing on coal in Australia, is a timely opportunity to provide mining leaders with a perspective on the evolving situation.
