Enhanced mining strategies

Established 2013. Proudly based in Cornwall, UK

Global Mine Design Ltd (GMD) is a team of talented engineers and geoscientists who specialise in using geoscience data (e.g., geotechnical mapping, deformation measurements, quantitative seismology) with professional design and analytical software to optimise mine layouts and planning schedulesOur measured approach results in a mine plan that achieves production goals and mitigates infrastructure risk by design.

Smarter, safer mine design

Smarter, safer mine design

Keeping your infrastructure serviceable for the entire mine life requires an in-depth understanding of how ground conditions will change. Let GMD show you how to mitigate potential risks in your infrastructure designs to suit your long-term production goals.

Resource planning

Are your corporate production targets underpinned by a mine plan that displays responsible and socio-economic custodianship of your orebodies? The foundation to a market-leading mining strategy is understanding ground behaviour – how can GMD help you?

Mine sequencing & modelling

Your site engineers have created an economically viable mine plan – but is it geotechnically sustainable? Let GMD’s modelling experts mitigate potential production risks inherent in your mine plan. Our analytical skills will enhance your mining strategy.

Ground support in active mines

Even with your best judgement, do areas of your mine cause concern? GMD’s expertise in deep, high-stress and seismic mine environments will reassure your operations personnel that ground support standards are designed to enable safe working conditions – letting you get back to delivering your production targets.

Applied seismology in mine design

Do you use your site-based ground monitoring and seismic data to enhance your mining strategy? Seismology in mine design is GMD’s passion - our way is unique, safe and profitable. Let us give you a new insight into safe, responsible and economic mining.
