Mining & Minerals

The mining industry involves the extraction and processing of valuable minerals and metals from the earth. It is critical to the global economy, supplying raw materials for construction, energy, electronics and manufacturing.

We support the full mining value chain, including feasibility studies, procurement, construction management, and commercial and legal oversight. Our experience includes:

  • Coal (e.g. Tweefontein, Wonderfontein, Khanyisa)
  • Copper (e.g. Khoemacau, Glencore Copper)
  • Zinc (e.g. Gamsberg, Skorpion)
  • Nickel, bauxite, vanadium and chrome
  • Work with EPCM/EPC contractors and owner teams
