Objective opinions and solutions require an understanding of the underlying components, together with the experience and judgement to allocate relevant priority to these issues. SRK’s experienced personnel and practical approach give you achievable options, opinions and solutions together with an understanding of the associated risks. SRK has considerable experience in managing exploration programmes, interpreting the structural setting of ore deposits and in drilling, sampling and assaying techniques. This enables us to help our clients find, delineate and estimate the size and quality of their mineral deposits effectively. Successful mining projects require a combination of technical and managerial expertise. SRK provides a wide range of services across the mining sector and our experienced specialists have worked throughout the industry. We have experience of varied geotechnical environments and undertake design of open pits in weathered near surface rocks to deep underground mines in high stress environments. The metallurgy and processing aspects of an orebody have to be considered at all stages of a mining project, during initial exploration and project evaluations, through to operations and plant enhancements or expansions. Tailings storage facilities often represent the most significant environmental liability associated with mining operations. Mine waste materials must be transported and discharged safely into secure impoundments which will last for an extended period after final mine closure. It has been calculated, that on average, it takes over 700 cubic meters of water to produce one tonne of gold. Traditional geochemistry focused on the exploration needs of the mining industry, looking for anomalies that would point the way to new deposits. Then came environmental geochemistry that assessed the potential for the environmental impact from operations. Environmental management has been a core competency of SRK since its establishment, and our environmental and social services skills have now diversified to meet the needs of the global mining industry and address evolving international trends. We are the Scandinavian-based arm of the independent international SRK Consulting Group. We provide a one stop consultancy service to the mining industry worldwide providing specialised consulting services.
