Tony Harrison
Managing Director
The Minserve Group Pty Ltd was founded in 1989 to provide specialist
services to mine operators and the mining sector. Since then, the Group
has added new skills and capabilities to meet expanding resource sector
requirements to become one of the foremost mining consultancies in
Australia.
Minserve is a multi-disciplinary group of consultants with specialist
expertise covering:
- geological services
- project management
- opencut and underground mining
- financial evaluation
- cartography and GIS spatial solutions
Collective experience covers all aspects of the coal, metalliferous and
extractive minerals industries from initial exploration through evaluation
studies and project development to operations support.
The structure of Minserve was devised to enable independent member
consultants to provide an integrated service to the mining industry.
Individual members have graduated from senior operations and technical
management positions in some of Australia's largest opencut and
underground mines. All have wide experience in the resources industry and
several hold statutory Mining Certificates of Competency for the
metalliferous and/or coal sectors.
- mine planning and design
- mine closure design and visualisation
- coal quality and preparation
- mine ventilation engineering
Minserve's skills base is ideally structured to provide a personalised and
high quality technical service on both small and large projects.
corporate advisory, due diligence
&
Minserve’s financial evaluation, risk analysis and optimisation expertise is utilised
in many different scenarios from feasibility studies to optimising the day-to-day
running of existing mines. Our costing and financial evaluation systems allow us to
capture the confidence levels in specific project elements and use Monte Carlo
risk analysis to quantify the risk.
We use numerous tools (both in-house and industry standard) at the mine planning
and financial modelling stage to achieve optimal project value. These techniques
are underwritten by our extensive and current cost and productivity database and
our capital and operating cost estimation system which allows us to confidently
model project costs.
Providing strategic advice to a diverse range of mining industry stakeholders has
been a key component of our business since its inception over 30 years ago. Our
members provide ongoing board level advice to several major corporations and our
reports are regarded as being among the most informative and accurate within the
mining industry.
Minserve has the resident technical expertise to evaluate all aspects of green and
brownfield projects. With competent and qualified members and associates we
can conduct due diligence across a wide range of commodities for resource
companies, financial institutions or investors who may be wanting to evaluate,
underwrite or invest capital in a project.
Minserve’s strategic advisory team provides expert witness testimony and
independent advice to a wide range of clients including major stakeholders,
minority investors and joint venture partners.

For over 30 years Minserve has been providing clients with underground
mining assistance and expertise. Through this time, we have obtained a
wealth of underground metals and coal experience over all aspects of
operations, technical and mine management, across all major
commodities. This includes all facets of design, scheduling, ventilation,
mine operations, safety, contract tendering and statutory management.

&coal quality
Minserve covers all aspects of coal quality as well as coal processing and
handling. Minserve team members work closely with the geological and
mining specialists to produce the best outcomes for the client. The work
with geologists ensures that the information gathered in the field enables
testing of samples to provide accurate predictions of coal quality for
marketing as well as for plant design and performance. Close liaison with
mining personnel enables detailed predictions to be provided for mine
modelling and planning.
The Minserve team includes experienced users of leading modelling
software tools (e.g. Limn) and has developed the in-house SimPrep
software. The team also has extensive experience in designing and
supervising bore core testing programs as well as plant design and

cartography
Minserve cartographers rely on a wide and diverse range of
software to support the work they undertake. Most of the
cartographic output is from Autocad Civil3d, though Mapinfo
GIS is also used for spatial data sets requiring thematic maps,
ranging from coal quality plots to landholder and mining tenure
maps. As well as graphic design packages being utilised for the
production of high quality volume runs of documents such as EIS
submissions, Vulcan is also used to model and create surfaces
for water management and volume measurements.
Minserve can provide support to complete applications for the
latest ERC and PRCP regulations. Including maps, spatial data
and supporting documentation.
Every aspect of mine planning and operations can be
represented in a uniquely tailored map to suit the subject
matter, be it environmental analysis, geological exploration, or
opencut mine stage plans. New developments in CAD 3d
visualisation will allow clients to fully understand and plan the
Minserve prides itself on the high standard of cartography,
drafting and presentation material that is provided to clients.
All work is done in-house by cartographers with extensive
experience in the resource and mining sectors, results of which
can be seen in any Minserve report. The drafting section is a
support service to each Minserve member and also provides
presentation material to clients in its own right.

A recognised strength of Minserve is the range of geological services
provided and the experience base supporting them. Work has been
performed in Australia and overseas covering coal, metals, industrial
minerals, gemstones and beach sands. Members have an impressive
record in prospect evaluation and in the planning, management, analysis
and reporting of exploration and development programs. Experienced
assistance can also be provided for mine operational activities.
Recent emphasis has been directed towards coal exploration, and coal
mining and services are often integrated with other related Minserve areas
notably coal quality assessment, coal utilisation, geotechnical and mining
considerations, and the estimation of coal resources and reserves.
Exploration geology covers field mapping and remote sensing studies,
planning and supervision of drilling programs, core logging and sampling,
3D GIS target characterisation and interpretation of geophysical survey
data. Mine geology includes opencut and underground mine mapping,
assessment of coal quality data in relation to mining schedules, and
resource estimation for technical or geological audits.
