From the ridge to a running mine.
Project management, engineering and the contract itself, from development through commissioning to the team that stays on to run the operation.
Three stages. One contractor.
Development
Studies, engineering, financing and the contract that lets work start.
Commissioning
Startup sequence, plant readiness and first production.
Operations
Grade, concentrate, offtake and the operating team.
Seven service lines, scoped to the project.
We take on a study, a contract, a startup programme or an operating role, and we can carry the work from one to the next.
Studies & Advisory
Feasibility, NI 43-101 QP services, valuation, financial models and due diligence that hold up when a financier reads them.

Talk to us →The contract is part of the job.
Crane Ridge can hold the mining and processing contract, the startup programme and the commercial terms for the concentrate. That makes us accountable for the result, not only for the advice.
We favour cost-effective technology, including XRF where it fits, a plant sized to the ore and logistics matched to the offtake.
