 Mining
Whether you are planning a new project or
optimising the performance of an existing
mine, AMC Consultants has the knowledge,
experience and expertise you need to deliver
the best outcomes, on time and within budget.
Our mining expertise covers surface and underground
mines and commodities from base metals to gold,
iron ore to mineral sands, and coal to diamonds. Our
underground and surface mining services address
all the stages of an operations life, from planning to
operations and decommissioning.
At any one time, one third of our consulting team may be
working with clients on a mine site. We combine excellent
academic qualifications with practical experience gained
at the mine site, to provide our clients with attentive and
expert consulting services.
Planning
Over the past three decades, AMC has delivered mine
planning services to nearly every mining company in
Australia and hundreds others around the world. Our
planning methodology is built on a foundation of expertise
in industry-leading practices and the latest technology.
Our services span strategic planning, operational planning,
drafting services, simulations, and scheduling.
Ventilation
AMC has developed computer simulation models for more
than 50 mining operations globally, ranging in scale and
complexity from simple series circuits with less than 100
airways through to more complex models with over 3,000
airways and 30 primary circuit fans. We can assist and
advise on any aspect of ventilation, including capacity
planning, fan tests, surveys, simulations, fan specification,
heat simulation, dust extraction, raise water, and training.

Backfill
Properly engineered backfill plays an increasingly important
role in the safety, stability and profitability of underground
mining operations. Inadequate designs and sub-standard
operating practices can be extremely expensive. To meet
operating objectives and minimize costs, decisions need
to be informed by expert advice and ongoing review. Since
2000, AMC has completed more than 267 backfill projects
for some of the largest mining companies in Australia and
globally.
Operational support
We provide skilled engineers to augment your own
technical teams when their capacity or capabilities are
stretched by new projects and special studies.
Operational improvement
No matter how skilled and experienced your mining team
is or how technically advanced your mining systems are,
your stakeholders expect continuous improvement. And
yet its rare to find a mining operation with a dedicated
process improvement team. Thats where we come in.
Our benchmarking and operational improvement services
provide mining operators with realistic improvement
targets and identify the areas in which improvements are
most readily achieved.
