Sound Mining is able to combine experiential knowledge and technical excellence with various types of computer modeling capabilities for a sound mining solution. In fact, we believe that our competitive advantage in the market place is because of the way we work together. We have been asked to assist in many different ways, but most of our mandates would fall into any of the following areas:
Financial evaluation, CPR’s and DD reports
Sound Mining is conversant with complex financial evaluations, which often form part of due diligence investigations and competent person’s reports.
Strategic or Life of Mine Planning and Operational Advice
Our experience helps us understand the value and or viability of exploration projects and mining operations. This insight allows us to contribute significantly when helping clients to solve their problems on existing operations.
Exploration and Geological or Geotechnical Data Management
We know that is it crucial to understand the geology and its influence on the mining engineering and logic behind the tonnage and grade forecasts, before deciding on an ore body’s cash generating potential. This means that you need to know that you can depend on the original exploration data.
Conceptual, scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies
Sound Mining participates in, and also managers concept, scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies for both exploration and mining projects. This important service offering addresses the declining availability of experienced and skilled geologists and mining engineers within the expending mining industry.
3D Modelling
Sound Mining has been providing, since its inception, the whole range of 3D modelling services to the mining and exploration industry. 3 D modelling adds significantly to the integrity of mineral resource evaluations, mining reserve optimisations, mine design and production scheduling. There are essential components for conceptual, scoping, feasibility, definitive feasibility studies.
Metallurgy
Sound Mining is able to provide the mining industry with technical excellence in the metallurgical field with particular reference to concentrating smelting (both AC and DC Arc) and base metal refining.
