Mining Advisory
Investing in mineral assets or expanding processing capacity without verified ground truth introduces severe geological, financial, and statutory risks. Our Mining Advisory practice provides developers, financial institutions, and manufacturing consumers with independent technical evaluations.
We quantify subsurface reserves, design bankable extraction systems, and structure regulatory compliance strategies in accordance with the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act.
Key Deliverables & Work Streams
- Geological Exploration & Resource Modelling: Exploration grid planning, diamond core drilling supervision, wireline logging, and 3D computerised block modelling to evaluate mineral deposit tonnage and structural grade variations.
- Bankable Techno-Economic Feasibility Reports (TEFR): Complete project feasibility studies covering mining methods, process flowsheet engineering, equipment sizing, Capex/Opex modeling, and discounted cash flow (DCF) asset valuations.
- Supply Chain Diagnostic Audits: On-site technical reviews of manufacturing plant raw-material pipelines to locate transit leakages, weighbridge discrepancies, moisture inflation, and chemical grade dilution.
- ESG & Statutory Regularisation: Structuring environmental management plans (EMP), District Survey Report (DSR) alignment, and Progressive Mine Closure Plans to secure operational permissions from State Pollution Control Boards and DGMs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which international and national reporting codes are followed for reserve estimations?
Resource modelling and reserve estimations strictly align with UNFC (United Nations Framework Classification) and Indian Mineral Concession Rules guidelines.
What key elements are included in a Bankable TEFR study?
Techno-Economic Feasibility Reports cover detailed geological block modelling, extraction method designs, Capex/Opex forecasts, process flowsheet engineering, and DCF asset valuations.
How do supply chain diagnostic audits eliminate operational shrinkage?
On-site technical audits investigate client raw-material pipelines to identify weighbridge discrepancies, transit leakages, moisture inflation, and chemical dilution.
What statutory environmental clearance services are provided?
We structure Environmental Management Plans (EMP), align District Survey Reports (DSR), and prepare Progressive Mine Closure Plans to secure State Pollution Control Board and DGM approvals.
Can the advisory team support pre-bid evaluations for commercial mineral auctions?
Yes, we conduct rapid pre-bid technical, geological, and economic due diligence for commercial minor and major mineral concession auctions.
