Precious metals

We have an extensive track record in the study and development of precious metals mining projects globally.

Our long history of executing projects has given us industry-leading expertise in all facets of precious metals mineral resource development, mining, extraction and ultimately project development from early stage studies through process design, engineering, procurement, material handling, construction and construction management of mining and processing facilities, and related infrastructure.

Utilising operations, engineering and project development expertise, our specialist teams work with virtually every ore type, mining method and processing technology. We assess all types of mineral deposits, evaluate technical and economic feasibility, and develop efficient and cost-effective mine and plant designs, capital cost estimates, and project execution plans.

Over the past three decades alone, we have developed a peerless level of expertise in precious metals extraction technology (gold, silver and platinum group metals (PGMs)) and development, having successfully delivered over 125 precious metals studies and projects globally for key customers in the industry. This includes dozens of open-pit and underground projects worldwide, including more recently:

• Côté Gold project, one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold deposits (consulting studies)
• Gruyere Gold project in Australia, one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in Australia (engineering, procurement, construction (EPC))
