    Bridging technical solutions to commercial mining outcomes

    Christo Horn, Chief Operating Officer

    AMC Consultants helped us de-risk our Rosh Pinah asset and identified a twofold potential increase in NPV. Their expert team helped us to evaluate all the practical opportunities and select our preferred strategic position with confidence. The work completed has confirmed the potential to increase ore production from approximately 0.7 Mt to 1.3 Mt per year — resulting in Rosh Pinah becoming a significantly lower cost zinc producer. We are pleased with the ROI delivered by AMC, and we have engaged them to complete the mining components of the Rosh Pinah Expansion “RP2.0” Feasibility Study.

    LS Shekhawat, COO-Mines-HZL

    AMC has helped us identifying the real production potential of all mines & also to do the benchmarking of most of our operations. This has helped us to develop long-term plans for our all operations & also helped us to see the opportunities to enhance the operation performance with compare to other Global peers to get best value out of each operation. Always recommending to have long term relations to get best from any mining project.

    Mark Carder – Senior Mine Geologist

    Speaking from a mining geologist perspective and attending a 1 week training session with Brian I found it completely un-siloed; Brian is the real deal and I would highly recommend attending.

    Ludwig Eybers, Senior VP Continental African Region

    AMC’s Benchmarking Studies, in conjunction with their detailed Operational Analysis studies, at AngloGold Ashanti’s Continental African Region operations provided us with insights into the key drivers of open pit mining performance and the potential operating cost savings that could be realised. AMC were able to provide an independent analysis of the current and future cost bases for each operation. They provided valuable input to the AngloGold’s Mining Task Force Project.

    Prominent Hill Project

    AMC’s Benchmarking and Operational Analysis Study provided OZ Minerals with insights into the key drivers of open pit mining performance. The study analysis enabled the mining department to develop and implement targeted business improvement plans.

    Robert Boyd - Mining Manager

    Contract negotiations were made transparent by using productivity and cost data from AMC’s Open Pit Benchmarking. The data identified opportunities for equipment productivity improvements, which translate to lower unit mining costs. With transparent data, we were able to negotiate a schedule of rates which benefits both the client and the contractor.

    Sam Roesler, General Manager

    I have utilised the AMC Benchmarking service in a number of underground mining operations for which I was responsible. The information gleaned enabled the management team to assess the operations performance against similar producers to determine focussed performance improvement plans. Immediate and longer term strategies were developed that ensured the robustness of the operation in a challenging environment. The base information provided in the AMC Benchmarking is an invaluable tool for those wishing to optimise their existing operations.

    In an unpredictable industry like mining, having a solid advisor such as AMC Consultants has been a significant asset to us at OK Tedi. AMC’s long history with our operation, deep knowledge and understanding of our challenges and opportunities, and breadth and depth of capabilities have consistently helped us achieve and even exceed our goals. We would not hesitate to recommend AMC to other operators looking for a trustworthy advisor for the life of their mine. For us, every dollar spent with AMC has more than paid for itself."

    I want to take this opportunity to thank-you personally Mort for excellent work and guidance during my team in Tennessee. It has truly been a pleasure working with you and your AMC partners. I was especially appreciative of your audits and sign-offs. I greatly appreciated your personal approach to auditing by mentoring and training. I am sure all the guys did as well. You have helped our staff grow and that is so critical to our industry. 

    Shawn Crispin, Chief Geologist

    AMC have successfully completed various projects for the Martabe Gold Mine over several years. In my area of responsibility these include Mineral Resource estimations, reconciliation reviews, due diligence style reviews and public reporting.

    AMC showed extraordinary levels of commitment to the success of these projects while maintaining their integrity and professional standards. I found AMC provided accurate and timely advice on both technical matters and the application of regulatory frameworks.

    I commend the individual consultants I dealt with at AMC and thoroughly recommend AMC’s services.

    Justin Woodward, Mine Planning Superintendent

    Perilya operates two underground lead/zinc/silver mines in Broken Hill (NSW Australia). Southern Operations is a remnant operation targeting 1.5Mt per annum of ore. Potosi Operation is a brownfield operation targeting 0.4Mt per annum of ore.

    In the period from 2008 to 2012 AMC Consultants annually reviewed the estimation of the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve for Perilya's Broken Hill Operations.

    AMC's scope was to provide an independent technical review of the Mineral Resource an Ore Reserve in terms of data quality, process, methodology and with a view to identifying any significant concerns or risks. To meet the scope AMC engaged with site personnel during the estimation process to ensure to ensure that there would be no unresolved issues at the time of public reporting, and that the estimates would be reportable in accordance with the JORC Code. Issues identified during the reviews were addressed during the process and recommendations for improvements were implemented in subsequent years. AMC provided constructive input to the estimation process, and assisted site personnel in their roles as Competent Persons.

    AMC's role was acknowledged in the public reporting of Perilya's Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve. Perilya found AMC to be professional, competent an thorough in the provision of this service.

    Colin Moorhead, Executive General Manager Minerals

    AMC Consultants has conducted independent Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Reviews for Newcrest Mining Limited since 2006.

    AMCs principal role is to provide confidence to the Newcrest board with respect to Newcrest’s public reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves and compliance with reporting codes.

    In addition AMC provides management reports that comment on areas of improvement that could be addressed by Newcrest in estimating Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

    Newcrest considers that AMC has conducted these reviews over a long period of time professionally and diligently and Newcrest considers that AMC contributes very positively to its corporate governance and its high professional standards.

    Larry Ingle, General Manager

    Iron Road Limited appointed AMC Consultants to review the mine design for its Central Eyre Iron Ore Project with a view to identify fatal flaws. The specific focus was on in-pit crushers, semi-mobile crushers, trucks, and excavators for the in-pit-crushing-and-conveying (IPCC) design. AMC also provided support to Iron Road in relation to CAPEX and OPEX estimates, and identified opportunities for improvement.

    AMC provided a quick and accurate assessment, identified a number of opportunities to enhance the design, and added value to the project while mitigating technical risk. AMC was able to deliver the project within the required timeframe and budget estimate, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and technical competence.

    Geotechnical Testimonials

    Sam Bowles, Chief Operating Officer

    AMC have been involved on a regular basis at UHG since 2010 and have been instrumental in training and mentoring local geotechnical staff with the expertise necessary to manage the challenging structural conditions on site. This has contributed substantially to the safety of our operation, with Mine Operations and Technical Services confident in the monitoring and controls in place.

    Gabriel Chiti Chilala - Geotechnical Superintendent 

    We were seeking a consulting housing firm that could deliver geotechnical advice in a more efficient and economical way. AMC Consultants came onboard after a competitive bid and conducted a peer review to validate the suitability of existing risk mitigation strategies for our current open-pit and underground resources and reserves. Additionally, they meticulously reviewed Sukari’s NI 43-101 geotechnical aspects for competent person sign-off.

    AMC took the time to understand Sukari’s historical operations and quickly immersed themselves in the work done by our site team. Their flexibility allowed for an essential site visit, and they delivered necessary geotechnical reports promptly. Throughout the process, they remained open to discussions and tailored their approach to meet our requirements.
