Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Professional experience
Mining infrastructure
TacminMadini’s mining infrastructure experience reflects sustained exposure to how enabling infrastructure shapes safety, compliance, operability and long-term accountability within mining systems. Across diverse mining contexts and jurisdictions, this exposure reveals where infrastructure decisions embed enduring operational and regulatory consequences that persist well beyond handover. This governance perspective is grounded in historical mining infrastructure projects set out below, which collectively inform TacminMadini’s independent governance assurance over infrastructure decision defensibility, execution alignment and the preservation of owner control as assets transition into sustained operation.
The mining infrastructure projects listed below reflect historical involvement across the definition, procurement, construction and integration of infrastructure supporting mining operations. This work included processing and materials handling facilities, tailings and water infrastructure, access works, utilities and supporting civil infrastructure delivered within active mining environments. Engagements involved direct exposure to construction sequencing, contractor interfaces, safety and environmental controls, quality assurance and commissioning, where infrastructure performance directly influenced operational continuity and production outcomes.
