Countries where RPM
has completed iron
ore projects
We have the expertise to provide end-to-end technical consulting from exploration to mine design and scheduling to
processing. We model the geologic ore characteristics and metallurgical performance to arrive at optimum scales and
schedules for iron projects to deliver marketable products and maximise value.
Our work covers the major deposit types such as BIF hosted (bedded magnetite and magnetite/haematite deposits),
weathering enhanced BIF iron variants, bedded magnetite and magnetite/haematite deposits, skarn magnetite deposits,
titano-magnetite deposits, strand line and sub-oceanic iron sand deposits. We have first-hand experience in the mining of
these deposit types by open cut, underground and dredging methods.
Our Approach
RPM is a leader in advisory services to the iron ore mining industry.
We utilise our well-known mine planning process and industry leading technology to complete projects that not only meet, but
set the industry standard. 60% of the world’s seaborne iron ore is scheduled using RPM software. This combination of
consulting and technology expertise ensures that we identify the best, practicable solutions for iron ore projects.
Our approach applies mining economic principles to define the technical and economic drivers of a project. This approach has
made RPM the first choice for many of the iron ore deposits and operations around the world.
Through our work, we understand and estimate the crucial attributes of the ore, understand the product requirements and
premiums for particular products and use our commercially available scheduling software to analyse the mining and processing
plans that deliver the greatest value.
We have teams on the ground in all of the world’s key iron ore mining regions who understand the local language, culture and
challenges. Through our global network, you also have access to the right specialist technical skills for your project.
With our broad range of in house skills and experience together with our well established associate and partner network, RPM
delivers a one stop solution for delivery of your mining studies.
We oversee the work of our associates and partners as part of our broader project team, taking full ownership of and
accountability for the quality of the work we perform.
