Mine Planning
Results of mining exploration programs and other mining related investigations serve as a basis for evaluating the technical and economic mine planning. BOYD prepares any level (conceptual to final) of a coal or mineral mine planning feasibility report required to meet a client's needs-from a brief overview of mining potential to documents suitable for requesting bids for construction.
BOYD mining consultant feasibility studies are accepted by major financial institutions and independent investors as an objective basis for sound fiscal decision-making-your assurance of receiving reliable mining projections you can depend on.
