Mining Industry
Consulting

Our goal is to give you the highest confidence in the underlying value of your project, by providing appropriate analyses and interpretations to support your key project decisions and development strategies. Our focus is on getting project concepts correct from the earliest stages.

We provide full-scale assessment of your development project's technical design and economy at various stages (Scoping study, Pre‐feasibility and Feasibility studies). Our experience allows us to see both risks and opportunities for the project.

Our team benefits from combining consultants with multifaceted experience to provide the geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological, mining, metallurgical and environmental and social expertise matching the specific challenges of your project.

Our modeling services cover a wide range of geotechnical challenges from slope stability assessments to in-depth structural assessments, from geological environment to groundwater conditions, and seismicity.

We interpret and analyze findings from geo-data to detect ground conditions that may impact engineering projects. We build models at early stages by performing regional geological assessments and desk studies using publicly available data. Thus we build helpful geotechnical models and come up with the right design parameters to ensure that you get practical, focused results that add value to your projects.

We are able to provide experts in key areas to help you successfully deliver your projects and are happy to work closely with your teams to strengthen in-house expertise by sharing our understanding and skills.

Competing factors such as cost, the environment impact, safety, and technical viability are all primary considerations when today's mining organizations are investing in new tailings systems or retrofitting existing ones.

We manage mine waste using an interdisciplinary approach involving: mining engineering, civil engineering, water management, environmental engineering, and geotechnical engineering.

We develop practical, economical engineering solutions for effective environment-friendly management of tailings disposal. We can help you select and test technologies for water recovery and conservation, improving operations performance and stability. We can provide stable, low-risk rehabilitation strategies for existing and future tailings storage areas.

Tailings facilities often impact large surface catchment areas and regional groundwater systems. Their effects need to be thoroughly studied in order to minimize long-term impacts on operations and the surrounding environment.

Water management includes a broad range of engineering and environmental services involving water storage, treatment, and distribution, as well as protection and restoration of wetlands, watersheds, lakes, and streams. Understanding the hydrogeological setting requires thorough knowledge of the natural environment and the processes required to mitigate the risk of contamination, and to guarantee sustained groundwater supply.

We work with your geologists to understand how the geology of your property affects drainage chemistry, and how it can be used to limit potential impacts and engineering costs. We take a strategic approach to flood management planning and flood modeling. We produce flood modeling reports, reviews, risk assessments, storm water drainage design and a full suite of flood mapping.

We develop the conjunctive use of surface, groundwater and recycled water; collecting baseline surface and groundwater data at the early stages of the exploration project, including borehole water levels, surface flows and water quality data; and integrating each water component with the total mine water system.

We also do hydraulic modeling of flood lines and dam break analysis, and offer excellent project services from pre-feasibility stage to operational.
Other services include water quality analysis, surface water quality and flow monitoring plans, flood routing at tailings dams, modeling of discharges from water bodies, storm-water attenuation, and spillway sizing.

We focus on adding value to your project and company by understanding your needs, employing innovative ideas, and applying reliable engineering solutions while maintaining an economy-driven approach

Our experienced team of metallurgists and process specialists primarily focus on metallurgical studies, due diligence and project review, and have played key roles in early stage engineering studies, process operations optimization and technical support.

Our team is experienced in most aspects of extractive metallurgy and mineral processing of base and precious metals, industrial and energy minerals, including test work, engineering and operations. We have a strong background of working in crushing, grinding, leaching (tank and heap), concentration, pressure and bio-oxidation, SXEW, smelting and roasting processes.

We provide a powerful combination of mining industry expertise and technology to bring greater visibility and understanding of the impact of your current practices, across physicals, financials, emissions, and business decisions before they are made.

Our services cover scoping, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and economic evaluations, detailed mine design and layouts, production scheduling and equipment selection, operating cost estimation and capital expenditure estimation. We also have key people pro-actively reviewing improved mining methods outside traditional approaches.

We have in-house skills allowing us to work with all major software design, optimization and scheduling packages.

We develop or audit geological models and resource estimations for all major commodities and deposit types for inclusion in all levels of study.

The geologists at Dokshin have extensive experience in exploration, database management, resource estimation, grade control and conditional simulation. We can take your project from grassroots exploration through the feasibility study stage and into production.

Our approach to resource estimation combines our strengths in structural geology and ore deposit geology, our understanding of geostatistical theory and our extensive experience in resource estimation and mining operations. The resource estimate is tailored to each specific project.

From geological data interpretation either manual or implicit, through to application of advanced geostatistical modeling techniques, our geologists will deliver what you need to have confidence in assessing financials and progressing your project to the next stage. We integrate geology into general resource management, using the latest technologies available at the appropriate stages.

GIS gives us the ability to map, model, query and analyze large quantities of data stored both outside and within a relational database according to geographical location. It reveals deeper insights into data, helping users make smarter decisions.

Through geospatial visualization, our clients make better informed decisions, enhance internal and stakeholder communication, comply with statutory requirements, and manage resources and assets more efficiently.

SRTM technologies present a unique opportunity to create a global, instantaneous model of an urban or suburban region using satellite imagery, together with collocated topographic information, which can be used to characterize building types, land use, and other variables.

This state-of-the-art digital process brings together research, data and designs from each part of the project to create a virtual space where a development can be refined, developed, tested and issues mitigated before building costs are incurred.

This process provides clear opportunities for cost and risk reduction, whilst improving quality and deliverability by identifying conflicts and clashes at the design stage.

Being able to provide clients with interoperable and increasingly data rich models is now an industry standard and is a requirement of any project that entails public spending; ranging from colleges to roads.

We use multi-dimensional design data mapping for our projects to create integrated design platforms that incorporate schedule and cost and, in the process, save customers time and money. These technologies allow us real time access to metadata related to equipment and systems within a project with a click of a mouse in a virtual or augmented reality environment for our customers.

The benefits of BIM and the Digital Engineering process can be felt throughout the entire life cycle of your development, providing you with all the necessary information to operate, maintain and manage your project going forward.
