Introduction

The economics of mining are changing. Infrastructure is increasingly becoming a crucial aspect of the viability equation. Terrain presents new challenges and political and environmental conditions are often difficult to negotiate.

Expertise is more critical than ever. So are innovation, a commitment to sustainability, and
the ability to adapt to the changing demands of the industry using knowledge and insight.
Royal HaskoningDHV has an extensive track record in pit to port consultancy. The
multidisciplinary nature of our organisation enables us to offer a complete and
comprehensive end-to-end service to our customers.

Just as important however is the innovation which is central to our activities. By using our
advanced skills, network and business models, we are able to convert opportunities into
innovative implementations which offer tangible transformational value – exactly what is
needed in the mining industry right now.

We are also taking the lead in sustainable development. We are well aware that
continuation with ‘business as usual’ is no longer an option and we at Royal HaskoningDHV
are committed to making a positive difference to our clients’ business and to society.

This is as true for the mining industry as anywhere else. Mining has the opportunity to
transform and enhance communities. Conversely, it also has the power to destroy and
degenerate environments. We are on the side of enhancement and we are committed to
work with stakeholders and governments to realise positive benefits from projects.

We can provide the optimal integration of the components in your project, but more than
that, we can provide the innovative new ways of thinking that make the difference when it
comes to the profitability of your project and to the enhancement of society.
