Scoping real pathways to production
Less than one percent of exploration projects typically progress to establishing an operating mine, which is part of the reason why mining and the resources extracted come at a high financial cost. As an integrated partner, we work closely with our customers throughout the scoping process to co-create and advise on pathways that align with the company's strategic goals and objectives while ensuring associated risks and challenges such as commodity price volatility, climate and environmental factors, and regulatory changes are identified and managed.

Sustainability front and centre
Businesses and organisations are under significant pressure to respond to climate and environmental risks, while providing investors, employees and customers with a clear vision of a sustainable future. They must also seize on the commercial and growth opportunities presented by climate and sustainability in the market. Using our Integrated Sustainable Solutions Framework we support our customers to proactively address these factors and explore opportunities to reduce impact and build strong relationships with key stakeholders such as local communities, governments, and investors.
Integrated partnerships and genuine collaboration
Open and transparent partnerships promote collaboration, enhancing expertise, reducing costs, increasing innovation, and improving risk management. By working together, projects can achieve better outcomes, while growing organisational capability and building long-term partnerships that can benefit future projects.
We’ve had significant success in forming and developing integrated teams for projects and programs with highly successful partnerships across the mining, water and energy industries–combining our skills with our customers’ to build integrated teams that strive toward common goals, ensuring optimum delivery outcomes through our proven One Team approach.
There must be a clear understanding of organisational operations, project objectives, systems, process and tools before change is made. All members must have clearly defined goals and be aligned on expectations, while sharing a common identity that promotes open relationships and a culture of belonging and trust to deliver the best outcomes on the project.
Customisable project management solutions
When working in an integrated team, it is essential to consider the specific nature of the project, the client’s systems and processes, and develop a tailored management system that draws on the best of both organisations.
This enables an effective management approach that fully aligns with the client’s needs and operating model, leveraging KBR’s global experience in delivering large scale complex programs.
Technical and economic advice
We help setup projects for success by considering the long-term sustainability of the project. This includes technical and economic analysis to assess the feasibility, which is critical to moving a mining and metals project from early exploration through to production. To maximise the best investment potential, it is important that comprehensive evaluation of capital and operating costs, cash flow projections, and estimated returns on investment are undertaken. Additionally, all technical assessments that explore the geological structure of the deposit, optimal mining methods and correct equipment selection and sizing should be completed in parallel.

Financial and investment advice
Securing necessary funding is critical for scoping and progressing a project. Therefore, a clear articulation of a project’s value proposition and positioning in the market is important and should highlight its competitive advantages and differentiators that it aims to serve, based on investor, and customer needs, preferences, and purchasing power.
Whether you’re raising funds by selling ownership shares, borrowing from financial institutions and private lenders, securing government loans, grants and tax incentives, or exploring other financing and ownership arrangements, we support our customers to establish plans that outline the specifics and build trust and confidence from investors and lenders, giving your project greater certainty of progressing to production.
