Client-side project support

Approvals & Feasibility Studies

One accountable environmental and social lead across the study program - from early project definition through approval, financing and execution.

Keep the study program connected to the project

Mining approvals and environmental/social study programs often need to commence before the project is fully defined. The role is therefore not simply to commission specialist reports. It is to manage scope, assumptions, interfaces, schedule and change while keeping study outcomes connected to feasibility and engineering decisions.

Where NG Mining Environmental can support

  • approval pathway and environmental/social strategy;
  • study program definition and specialist scopes;
  • consultant procurement and management;
  • program schedule, budget and dependency management;
  • regulator, lender and independent-review interface;
  • technical QA across specialist reports;
  • project-description and change-control coordination;
  • integration of study outcomes into feasibility and engineering;
  • EIS, approval application and amendment coordination in Australia;
  • ESIA and environmental/social study management for international projects;
  • IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles and lender due-diligence interfaces; and
  • transition of approval commitments toward operational readiness.

One point of accountability does not mean one person does all the technical work. It means one experienced lead remains accountable for making sure the technical work collectively delivers what the project needs.
