Experience

Project Geotechnical Consultant to Twigg Mining and Exploration Limitada for their proposed conversion from thickened tailings to a Dry Stacked Tailings Storage Facility (DSTSF). Evaluation of data and preparation of the preliminary study leading to the PFS for dry stacking for the remaining 38-year life of project.

Project Geotechnical Consultant to Syrah Resources for the bituminous lined Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), plant site foundations and roads.
