Contact the Mining Engineering TeamFrom early-stage exploration through to mine operations and expansions, a robust valuation framework provides clear insight into the profitability, risk profile and value creation potential of projects.
Our mining project valuation service provides independent, technically sound valuations that support mining companies and project developers with reliable assessments that stand up to rigorous technical and economic scrutiny.
For both greenfield and brownfield developments, a structured, multidisciplinary approach to studies has proven to be the most cost-effective way to advance projects. Our project managers and on-site technical specialists integrate inputs from all relevant disciplines to assess project performance within an operational and commercial context, in accordance with international reporting and disclosure standards.
By combining in-depth technical expertise with rigorous financial analysis, we deliver transparent, justifiable assessments that comply with international best practice.
Independent technical and commercial due diligence reviews to support transactions, financing processes, joint ventures and portfolio decisions. The typical scope includes:
Carrying out appropriate studies tailored to the project’s stage of development:
Our services include:
Robust economic project evaluation based on technically sound assumptions:
Risk assessment in the mining industry
Structured identification and quantification of uncertainties to support realistic results and targeted risk mitigation:
Preparation and independent review of technical reports in accordance with recognised international codes, including:
Our qualified and competent specialists support the transparent disclosure of resources, reserves and project management through clear, verifiable reporting.
Let’s assess your mining project together. I look forward to hearing from you.

The assessment of mining projects is a structured technical and economic evaluation designed to provide an understanding of project performance, development pathways and value drivers. It integrates geology, mine planning, processing, infrastructure, ESG, costs, the timetable and risk into a unified assessment framework.
Assessment studies can be carried out at any stage of a project – from the early scoping phase through to feasibility studies and the operation of facilities. They are particularly valuable at key decision-making points, such as project development milestones, expansions or strategic reviews.
Scoping study (PEA): Conceptual scoping studies provide early estimates of mining methods, production rates, and capital and operating costs. These studies support informed decision-making regarding the scope of the project, development options and overall feasibility. They are used to evaluate concepts and identify the key value drivers at an early stage.
Typical cost accuracy: ±30% to ±50%
Pre-feasibility studies are carried out for new and expanding open-cast and underground operations. The scope typically includes a resource assessment, an evaluation of mining methods, preliminary mine planning, production planning and a cost estimate. The focus of these studies is on optimisation and the gradual reduction of risk as the project progresses.
Typical cost accuracy: ±20%.
Definitive feasibility studies are managed and co-ordinated in accordance with bankable standards. They provide engineering, detailed design and formal technical risk assessments to support development decisions and project implementation.
Typical cost accuracy: ±10% to ±15%
We offer a genuine one-stop solution for the entire project value chain by integrating all technical disciplines into a coordinated team. This ensures consistent assumptions, efficient delivery and fully aligned technical and commercial outcomes.
Yes. All scopes are tailored to the project’s readiness, data availability and decision-making requirements.
