Mining Advisory
Mining is undergoing a significant transformation as it navigates critical mineral development, the energy transition, and the evolving landscape of ESG. The mining industry must adapt to advance its sustainability agenda and ensure stability for the future.
Overview
SLR’s Mining Advisory teams possess extensive experience across all commodities and mining jurisdictions worldwide, including engineering geology, mining, processing, infrastructure, tailings, geotechnical, accounting, decarbonisation, sustainability, environmental and social consultants who have provided clients with expertise and advice for over 35 years.
The team ensures our clients benefit from a comprehensive suite of services that span the entire project lifecycle, from transactional support to value creation in exploration programmes, resource estimation, and preliminary environmental/social assessments, value recognition through reserve development, and operational support through to closure.
A vital aspect of our services is tailings, environmental, and social risk and liability assessment, along with management, including Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) challenges.
