Mining and Metals

  • How big is the monetary, environmental and human life risk in your mining project?
  • How could fluctuations of exchange rate impact the feasibility of a mining project?
  • How do you choose the best hedging strategy against future changes in the price of your commodity?

Within the life-cycle of a mine management system, from pre-feasibility to decommissioning, a mining firm is exposed to a wide variety of technical, environmental, production, financial, business and market risks. Quantitative Risk analysis and management techniques can be used in many areas of mining including analyzing survey data,  performing (financial) feasibility studies, developing a mining plan, production forecasting, as well as determining exchange rate risks and developing hedging strategies.

Applying the tools and processes of quantitative risk analysis is one of the most powerful methods available for project managers to identify, quantify and control or mitigate the risks involved in engineering systems. Click here to see more details on our Capabilities.

Clients

At Vose Consulting we believe in partnering relationships with our clients: that is, we strive to structure our clients' use of our time to maximize their benefit. To that end we prefer to work, wherever possible, alongside the client, demonstrating and teaching as we go the methods we use and sharing as much of the work as possible with the clients' personnel. This maximizes the transfer of knowledge, so that the client is better able to understand our work, and more capable of doing future projects by themselves. We aim for long-term relationships with our clients.

Example Projects

Training in Quantitative Risk Analysis applied to Mining

Problem

A large mining technology consulting company wanted to start using risk analysis more in their project analyses, and set up a risk analysis department within their company to do this. They had many industry-specific questions, and were in particular interested in good ways to communicate the merits of the Quantitative Risk Analysis approach to decision makers.

Mine Production Forecasting

Problem

One of the largest copper companies in the world was frequently unable to meet their production forecasts and wanted to understand and better manage the uncertainty and variability in actual production. After several unsuccessful attempts to design an accurate production forecasting system for one of their mines, they sought assistance from Vose Consulting.
