Consultancy offering miners ‘optimisation tools’
In the current climate of con-strained capital, clients in the mining sector are seeking ways to maximise returns while minimising exposure to risk, particularly those companies which need to make strategic decisions on potential investments, says engineering company WorleyParsons CEO Denver Dreyer.
“Front-end services are critical in a cash-constrained environment. Through our global advisory and technical consulting arm, Advisian, we have introduced innovative optimisation tools to help our clients identify opportunities upfront and create value across every phase of a project so that, when the project is ready to go into execution, it has the highest probability of success,” he says.
Advisian regional executive manager for sub-Saharan Africa Adam Boughton elaborates that Advisian’s optimisation tools help to address the modern-day challenges that mining companies are facing and offer “real solutions to real problems”.
He comments that the unit draws on the company’s “deep domain expertise” and experience in the mining sector to advise clients. It then can partner with them to implement that advice.
