SRK Consulting - Assists clients with the technological evolution of mining

While original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs) tend to drive the technological evolution of mining equipment toward lower-carbon options, the company assists clients to "understand exactly how these solutions impact indices like cost, productivity and mine plans."

"We include a range of power generation options in our technical studies and we track the technologies and their potential advantages and risks. Our due diligence studies include a review of the energy options that the client has selected, and to access questions of cost and reliability, for instance," he elaborates.

SRK's multi-disciplinary expertise, therefore, allows the company to explore options for reducing emissions and plotting a path that aligns with emissions targets.
