In a celebration of the people and businesses that make NSW mining strong amidst a backdrop of low commodity prices and challenging economic conditions, this award recognises RPM as a success story and Australasia’s leading Mining Advisory company.
RPM Executive General Manager – Advisory Philippe Baudry said: “As a supplier to the industry, we have focused on being a provider of genuine technical capability and delivering a high quality offering rather than simply capacity and have invested heavily in integrating our Advisory expertise with our industry-leading software solutions to ensure we provide the best possible level of service and optimised and practicable outcomes for our clients.
“The drop in commodity prices has been steeper and has gone on for longer than anyone in the industry anticipated. Mining companies have done a remarkable job of reducing their cost of production. However, much of the low and medium hanging fruit in this space has now been picked from the tree.”
Through the delivery of services to its mining customers as well as being active engagement in key industry bodies – Austmine, AUSIMM and the Sydney Mining Club – RPM has not only illustrated its commitment to the NSW Minerals industry but to the entire mining ecosystem, Baudry said.
RPM’s active engagement is evidenced in the wide use of its mine planning and costing software in many of NSW’s major mining assets, its advisory services support of the development of new and existing operations and its involvement in investor-related activities in the NSW resource sector, he said.
RPM’s Simon Askey-Doran was involved in a panel discussion at the conference today based on the challenges and opportunities in supplying products and services to the minerals industry.
“RPM’s internationally renowned Advisory team prides itself on being active members of the industry and an example of how innovative operating practices can ensure resilience in such a tough market,” he said.
“Our advisory team of technical mining experts focus intently on delivering the RPM Global Advisory Advantage – a tailored, mining industry workhorse powered to partner with clients to unlock latent capability from mining operations and to provide judicious investment advice for investment clients.”
