Minerals Management

Managing precious natural resources

Natural minerals have an essential role in many areas of our lives, including what we eat and drink, how we get our energy and the development of the built environment. They must be found, mined and processed into useable forms.

We provide advice and assistance over the full life cycle of a minerals project, from initial concept design and discussions with planning authorities to planning applications, scheme designs, site implementation, final restoration and subsequent disposal of mineral and waste sites.

Our range of services includes:

• advice on planning
• mineral reserve
• feasibility studies and market research
• supporting environmental impact assessments (EIAs)
• developing restoration strategies
• estates management, including landholding negotiations and rent reviews
• supporting local authority mineral planning departments
• assisting in value added developments such as concrete batching and coated roadstone plants, sales facilities wharves and railheads.

Our service is supported by a full suite of in-house environmental experts.
