Underground Longwall Coal Mine Due Diligence

Mining Project Evaluation

Completed a due diligence exercise for a world-class underground coal asset valued close to $1billion (AUD). Served as part of subject matter expert team tasked with evaluating the asset and providing advice to client. Identified technical risks (geotechnical, geology, mine planning, ventilation etc.) and translated them to financial risks.


Deep High Stress Underground Longwall Mine

Operational Technical Support/Design

Comprehensive geotechnical/mining study for a deep (500m) high stress, multi-seam, longwall mine. The deliverable was a risked based mining strategy implementing stress relief mining methods for widened excavations.

Feasibility Study Underground & Open Pit Gold Mine

Mining Project Evaluation

Completed a geotechnical feasibility study for an underground and open pit gold mine. Evaluation of ground support design using empirical and analytical methods for pillars, drives, portals and stope stability assessments. Slope stability analysis.


Pre-feasibility Study Australia's Deepest Underground Coal Mine

Mining Project Evaluation

Delivered a concept/prefeasibility design for Australia’s deepest proposed underground coal mine.(450-800m). Optimised proposed barrier pillar (widths) resulting in an additional $50 million of production over proposed mine life.
