DMT provides consulting services to mining operators worldwide

Our expertise is based on many years’ experience in underground and opencast mining. Our focus is particularly on the service areas of mining planning, production, equipment and plant sizing, and performance assessment. In doing so, we take into account safety requirements as well as geotechnical, hydrogeological, economic, socio-economic and environmental conditions.

To ensure we can provide practical and flexible planning solutions at all times for every phase of a mining project, we work with established software solutions such as SURPAC®, Minex®, Datamine®, MineSight® and VULCAN®.

Our Expertise in Mining Consulting

DMT provides independent consulting services in all relevant areas of mining.

This includes, amongst other things, selecting the optimal mining method, carrying out conceptual and preliminary planning for the mining operation, and selecting and sizing equipment and plant. Drawing on many years of international experience, we support project developers in carefully assessing and balancing all factors relating to engineering, operations, economic viability and the environment.

Once the mineral reserves have been determined, the planning of the mining layout, the sequence of extraction and the organisation of subsequent operations plays a decisive role in ensuring economic viability, minimising operating costs and maximising the utilisation of the deposit’s contents. 

Our expertise ensures that all relevant aspects – such as safety, product quality, extraction, transport, ventilation, crushing and stockpiling – are taken into account in the planning of the mining layout and extraction sequence. In doing so, we select only modern and efficient equipment and plant that are optimally tailored to the specific requirements of the deposit and the mining method.

We ensure that your mining projects are designed to be safe, cost-effective, and sustainable. Feel free to contact me!

Why DMT in Mining Consulting?

In the field of dewatering and mine water management, we have extensive experience in applying hydrogeological, technical and environmental management principles. These are of central importance to many mining and quarrying companies.

Our experts also provide advice on backfilling methods using construction materials to improve the stability of mine workings, prevent subsidence, reduce environmental liabilities and protect areas adjacent to the mine. In doing so, we tailor our solutions to the specific conditions of each site.

In the field of ventilation and climate control, we offer expert support on issues relating to gas outgassing, ventilation and monitoring. With over 100 years’ experience in gas outgassing, we also advise regulatory authorities on safety-related matters, such as the handling of harmful gases.

Our approach to mining consultancy takes socially responsible closure and land reclamation concepts into account right from the start. We provide our clients with interdisciplinary support throughout all phases of a mining project’s life cycle and develop practical strategies for decommissioning, land recycling and future site planning.
