Mineral extraction strategy development
Defining how and in what order a resource is extracted to deliver the most value.
Terra Group / Services
Services
The services we deliver, from the first study on a new project to turning around a mine that is already running.
Strategy & planning
Deciding how a deposit should be mined, then planning, costing and equipping it.
Strategy implementation
Turning the chosen strategy into plans, targets and tangible results on site.
Mine design & scheduling
Pit optimisation, pit- and underground designs with production schedules that are practical to execute.
Financial modelling & costing
Cost estimates and financial models that link technical plans to project value.
Equipment modelling & fleet selection
Matching equipment type, size and numbers to the mine plan.
Haulage simulations
Simulation of haul fleets and routes to size equipment and remove bottlenecks before they cost money.
Studies & reporting
Technical work that defines what a deposit is worth and how it should be mined.
Project studies, PEA to BFS
From preliminary economic assessment through pre-feasibility to bankable feasibility, reported to international codes.
Competent Person's Reports
Independent technical reports (CPRs) on mineral assets for investors, lenders, listings and transactions.
New mines & advisory
Turning studies into working operations, with technical advice at every step.
Building new mines
Taking projects from study through construction and commissioning into production.
Technical consulting & advisory
Practical advice across the full technical chain.
Operating mines
Finding the gap between what a mine produces and what it could produce, and closing it.
Improving mine performance
Raising output, recovery and cost performance at operating mines.
Operational assessments
Independent reviews of an operation's performance, risks and opportunities.
Operational turnaround
Hands-on recovery plans for operations that are underperforming.
Theory of Constraints management systems
Management systems that find the constraint in the value chain and run the operation around it.
Continuous improvement
Structured programmes that lock in gains and keep finding new ones.
