Mining
Mining houses engage in a multitude of expansion projects during the lifespan of a mine. These projects require capital which must be budgeted for on an annual basis. It is important to be able to accurately estimate the expected spending patterns in order to forecast investment capital over time.
​Introduction
Mining houses expend hundreds of millions of Rands annually on capital and operational expansion projects. The South African mining industry, as well as the ever-expanding African mining industry requires accurate and reliable cost estimates, schedules, and project controls for their forecasted project budgets.
​
Our Experience and Offerings
The Cost Engineers we employ to consult our mining customers on cost estimates and schedules, hail from a mining background, having worked in the industry for many years and with a thorough understanding of the conditions, rules and regulations involved in mining.

Please note: At PTCC we do not specialise in the cost estimation, planning, and cost control of the physical mining activities themselves, only in the plant and process-related projects within the mining industry.
