Engineering

Mine engineering involves applying up-to-date, science-based knowledge about geology and technology to plan a safe and efficient mine.

Generally, most engineering takes place during the design phase of a mine's life. Often, engineering work must be done as part of a larger due-diligence or permitting effort. MineTech's mining engineering services include:

Junior and Senior Mining Due-Diligence Reports

Companies who are considering purchasing or developing a mineral property often require that independent, reputable professional engineers first evaluate the property. The due-diligence reports that are prepared can later be submitted to a securities commission.

Preparation of due-diligence reports involves site visits, analysis of existing data, and projection the property's economics. Some types of due-diligence reports we can provide are:

Legal and Regulatory Support

These services generally involve writing, filing and adjusting reports for approval of development of mineral properties.

Government Departments use consultant mining and geological engineering services for independent opinions on submittals by proponents, for specialized technical knowledge when drafting safety regulations, and for advice concerning mine reclamation. An assignment may last from hours to several months.

• Permitting
• Expert Witness Testimony

Operations and On-Going Support

Operating mines often have special projects outside of normal production operations that require professional engineering personnel. Examples include designing a new quarry or revising a processing plant. When mine personnel are too busy to give the project adequate attention, a consultant is hired.

Short- and long- term assistance to operators to identify targets, improve processes and train staff.

• Temporary Personnel
• Mineral Exploration design and management
