Our Clients in the Mining and Metals Industry
our mining expertise
GEF expert knowledge covers all aspects of the industry.
From geology and exploration, resource estimation, geotechnical studies, rock stability, open pit and underground mining operations, drilling and blasting, to various processing methods like heap leaching, pressure oxidation, gravity concentration, flotation, CIL, CIP, and up to metal accounting and laboratory test work, we have the skills and knowledge to handle all your technical translation needs.
Exploration and Feasibility
GEF has a proven track-record of translating multiple exploration programs, scoping studies, pre-feasibility and bankable feasibility studies for leading gold, nickel, tin and copper mining projects across the globe.
Our projects include Natalka, Olimpiada, Sukhoi Log, Talnakh, Syrymbet, to name just a few.
Planning and Construction
Once a potential mine is proven viable, the planning and construction phase begins, which involves applying for and obtaining permits, continuing economic studies and refining mine plans.
Infrastructure development is also crucial at this stage. With mines often situated in remote locations, constructing roads and providing electricity becomes essential.
GEF excels in delivering top-notch, accurate translations during this critical phase, contributing to the development and construction of major global mining projects. Our experience includes translating: mine plans, design and engineering documentation, trade-off studies for: mines, process plants, tailing dams, declines, mine camps, haul and access roads, explosives magazines, maintenance shops, and auxiliary infrastructure facilities.
Operating Mines
Once the operation is ready to begin, the asset officially becomes an operating mine. During this phase, the ore is extracted, processed and refined to produce metal. This section forms the bulk of the focus of the financial model for an operating mine.
Once all the ore has been extracted, the mine closure process begins, which can last for several years. The process includes clean-up, reclamation and environmental monitoring.
GEF has extensive experience translating: financial models, operation mine closure and reclamation reports, and environmental and social impact assessments.
Mining Industry Reserves and Resources
A mining company’s main assets are its reserves and resources — ores containing economic materials viable for mining. The proper understanding of a reserve and resource statement is of paramount importance, as it is the source of information for building the financial model.
GEF’s mining expertise includes deep knowledge of JORC and NI 43-101 Codes. Our proofreaders for the most important documents are QP/CP for JORC and NI 43-101.
Whether your resource estimation and reconciliation reports adhere to international standards or Russia/CIS-specific GKZ and TKZ protocols, we will ensure their professional translation with deep industry insight.
