In the good old days, mining was a welcomed industry fueling the industrial revolution in our country.  The industry's heritage is a long one with a strong reputation, however shifting attitudes towards land use practices and heightened concern for our environment have imposed demands on mining engineering consultants to offer better solutions and greater technical know how.  Survival in the mining industry requires good planning, a knowledge of your resources & how to manage them, and a ongoing comprehensive cycle of permitting and reporting.  It requires technical skill and know how.

And that's where we, as mining consultants, come in...
