International standards we design to
Design deliverables are prepared to be compatible with JORC, NI 43-101 and VALMIN reporting requirements, and engineering complies with Chinese GB codes, Eurocodes, and US and Australian standards. Which standard governs a given project is agreed at the start, because it changes the design basis, the documentation and the review path.
If a certificate matters to your financing or procurement process, ask us for the certificate number and the issuing body and verify it directly. We would rather do that than have a claim taken on trust.
Send us the ore, the tonnage target and the site conditions. We reply with a scoped proposal.
