ORElogy are able to provide demonstrably independent analysis and assessments for mining companies, banks and lenders, investors, insurance companies and the like.

This form of study includes:

• Due diligence type assessments of both current and prospective projects for the purposes of investment, acquisition and divestment.
• Independent technical audits for public release.
• Technical reviews for internal company evaluation.
• Fatal flaw reviews of completed studies.

These studies cover a range of issues to varying levels of detail, dependent on time frame, budget and client requirements. They can include:

• Detailed assessment of the validity and robustness of the parameters used to develop a project (e.g. optimisation parameters, pit design parameters, operating costs etc.). This is particularly so in the case of verifying that reported ore reserves conform to the required reporting codes.
• Examination of planning systems and assumptions to ensure they are practical while at the same time meeting corporate requirements and expectations.
• Rigorous review of proposed or actual operating systems and management strategies to determine their suitability, effectiveness and whether short or long term targets are achievable.
• Assessment of the interface between mining and all other aspects of the project (e.g. processing, environmental, etc). This is in order to determine if any of the interacting systems or assumptions that have been implemented are incompatible or conflicting.
• Review the basis for operating and financial projections to determine whether they can be considered valid and realistic.

 ORElogy can produce reports complying with all relevant disclosure requirements and reporting codes, such as JORC or NI 43-101 standards. ORElogy bring a wealth of practical experience, both within Australia and internationally, to the formation of these reports.
