Copper - The Challenges
- Single or multiple sites with significant infrastructure
- Complex ore bodies with variable ore grades
- Different mass mining methods for surface or underground
Our Work
- We carry out copper reviews worldwide at many of the largest mines including the world’s two largest by reserve at Escondida in Chile & Cananea in Mexico
- At most sites our risk assessments are of the end-to-end operation – mining, heap leaches, processing, tailings storage, solvent extraction, electrowinning, smelting and refining, fire protection, utilities, transportation, ports and infrastructure
- We also assess new mine construction or mine expansion, whether surface or underground
- Our reports are all-encompassing or of a specific activity to include insurance risk surveys, construction risk reviews, asset criticality and specialty assessments of high or complex risks
