CAPABILITY STATEMENTS

OPEN PIT MINING OPERATIONS
AND SLOPE STABILITY

EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE IN SLOPE STABILITY

Our work in open pit mining is headed by Mr Tim Sullivan. Other key personnel involved in open pit mining and slope stability are Mr Garry Mostyn, Mr Mark Eggers, and Messrs Alex Duran and Robert Bertuzzi. This team has worked on over 100 mining projects in all phases from feasibility to ongoing mining.
