The Durability of IMC Project Expert Knowledge and Information
Would you like to know why the mine has been built the way it is – like why that portion of the pit with high-grade ore has never mined before where behind that pit wall exists a basin designed 40 years ago that ensures your leachate goes to the pond and not your pit?
Beyond our mining planning expertise and inherently inclusive to all our services IMC has acted as caretakers for project history and sensitive data for mines from project stage to producing mine. IMC has more often than should happen been the sole remaining indestructible source for project specific information and knowledge in spite of employee loss, staff rotations, mine or project delays, closings, or restarts. On numerous occasions clients have reached out to IMC as we have had a long-standing involvement and valuable historic expertise with the mine project. Be ensured that your data remains safe with us and is only released on request pending stringent verification of project rights.
