Who We Are

Our professional staff - which includes both full-time people and associates (the latter are part-time) - is comprised of either professional management consultants with extensive experience in the minerals business or career-long minerals industry senior business personnel. The resultant work product reflects a marriage of these two disciplines.

Thus, our key employees and core group of associates are comprised of technically based people, who know well the many and varied key issues and components impacting the global mining and processing business based on their previous work and experience. 

Typically, this previous experience consists of our associates having had responsibilities as operating foremen, superintendents, mining and metallurgical engineers, marketing V.P.’s, Corporate Development V.P.’s, Exploration V.P.’s, Operating V.P.’s, former COO’s, CEO’s and CFO’s of mining and processing companies.
