Mine Design & Mine Planning

Redwood is a competent and reliable partner for your mining operation, due to many years of experience in mine design and mine planning all over the world. We cover virtually all mining methods, both surface mining and underground mining, for a great variety of commodities. Every year, we complete a multitude of mine design assignments as part of scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies. In addition to that, we also offer detailed mine design post feasibility study and planning for optimizing mining processes and operations.
Mine Planning – The Redwood Way

Every successful mining project starts with a plan. We assist you in setting up a strategic plan to manage your costs and resources and define your objectives for your mining operation. Our mining engineers support you with locating and evaluating promising deposits. Redwood’s approach always focuses on understanding the complete mining context and characteristics of the mineral deposit. This allows us to recognize and address the specific constraints of each mining project.

We help you make to make the most effective use of your mine capital, short-term, medium-term and long-term. Our engineers produce practical mine designs and achievable schedules to allow for easy execution and operation.
Design Work & Process Optimization Services

Not only does Redwoodprovide services to locate and assess ore deposits, but our vast experience in the mining industry also enables us to counsel you on the most suitable mining method for each project. We offer support and advice all along the mine planning process, spanning mining method selection and design to geotechnics, equipment design selection and logistics and plant design. But also, if you want to optimize your mining processes, we develop a plan and design new processes for you to find the optimal solution.

Thanks to our extensive experience from mine planning and mining engineering to mine decommissioning, our designs are innovative, cost effective and environmentally responsible. A mine plan by Redwood allows you to maximize the economic benefit of your project and mining operation.

Geology & Mineral Exploration

The purpose of mineral exploration is to identify ore bodies and promising deposits to get an overview over the available mineral resources for a mining project. Our geologists offer various exploration services for mining companies. Redwood offers its clients professional guidance on all stages of mineral exploration, from grass roots exploration to target definition, drilling, sampling and geological modelling.

Redwood’s staff will also, if required, undertake any aspect of the mineral exploration on the client’s behalf. We have a highly flexible approach and are willing just to provide support and advice as necessary or alternatively to augment the client’s exploration team with our own professional staff and to train and advise them and work along side them, as required.

Our staff, who are proficient in the complete range of exploration techniques, include highly experienced geophysical teams proficient in both survey and interpretation. Moreover Redwood has experience of virtually all types of mineral deposits and in working in all climates and in extremely isolated areas.
