LOM studies, reserve declarations
LOM studies with reserve declarations
Optimising the mining cycle through precise reserve assessments and critical evaluations.
| Life of Mine (LOM) studies | We conduct comprehensive technical and economic evaluations that define the viability of mining projects, supporting informed decision-making across the project lifecycle. |
| Reserve declarations | Our reserve declarations are prepared in compliance with international reporting codes such as JORC, NI 43-101, and SAMREC, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and investor confidence. |
| Strategic insights and optimisation | By delivering reliable insights into mineral reserves, mine life, and project economics, we help clients secure financing, optimise mine planning, and achieve sustainable outcomes. |
Owner vs Contract trade-off
Owner vs Contract miner trade-off
Evaluating the most efficient and cost-effective mining approaches.
| In-depth trade-off studies | TacminMadini conducts comprehensive evaluations of owner-operated versus contract mining, assessing the financial, operational, and strategic implications of each model. |
| Cost and efficiency optimisation | Our expertise enables clients to identify cost-saving opportunities, streamline operations, and align mining methods with long-term project objectives. |
| Pilot programs for transition | For clients considering a shift to owner-operated mining, we design pilot programs that simulate operational changes, minimise risks, and deliver actionable insights before full-scale implementation. |
Outsourced mine engineering
Outsourced mine engineering
Delivering expert engineering and planning solutions to optimise mining performance.
| Comprehensive engineering and planning services | TacminMadini offers outsourced mine engineering and planning designed to address the full spectrum of project requirements across the mining lifecycle. |
| Operational performance and cost efficiency | Our solutions improve productivity, strengthen safety standards, and embed sustainability while reducing overall operational costs. |
| Flexible and innovative approaches | By partnering with us, clients gain access to expert engineering and planning capabilities that provide innovative, adaptable solutions for today’s complex mining challenges—delivering superior outcomes with confidence. |
Zero profit margin bids
Zero-profit margin bids
Independent cost validation to support accurate, risk-informed tender decisions
| First-principles pricing | We independently price contract mining scopes from the ground up, with zero profit margin, to provide a transparent baseline for benchmarking contractor tenders. |
| Exposing risks and hidden costs | Our process highlights inflated rates, hidden margins, and unrealistic assumptions, enabling clients to identify potential commercial risks before contracts are awarded. |
| Enhanced adjudication and cost control | This approach empowers more confident adjudication, strengthens negotiation leverage, and supports cost-effective contractor selection—ultimately improving overall cost control and project delivery performance. |
Technical due diligence
Technical due diligence (IER)
Critical insight to support acquisitions, financing, and project development strategies
| Comprehensive due diligence | We review geology, mining, processing, environmental, and legal aspects of operational and brownfield projects to identify risks, gaps, and hidden value. |
| Investment decision support | Our reports highlight compliance issues, cost uncertainties, and opportunities for optimisation—helping clients make informed decisions before acquisition or expansion. |
| Independent Engineer’s Reports (IERs) | Prepared in line with global reporting codes, our IERs provide financiers, owners, and M&A teams with trusted, independent assessments that deliver objective, actionable insights. |
