Mining | Mid-tier and intermediate producers

Meet your expectations—and those of your stakeholders

As a mid-tier producer, you likely have a number of projects on the go in varying stages of development and in different parts of the world. With so many balls in the air, it can be a struggle to juggle them all on your own.

Ensuring a sustainable cost output is one of the challenges to remaining competitive—as is retaining a highly skilled staff and management team. And now that you're on the radar of analysts, there are greater implications if you don't meet their quarterly or annual expectations.

At Grant Thornton, we can help you thrive in this stage of the development cycle through a variety of services, including

International tax: regardless of where your various projects are located across the globe, our tax professionals work closely with their international counterparts to help ensure seamless, timely and localized tax advice.

Productivity improvement: as your operations increase in scale and scope, your production processes increase in complexity and experienced resources become key to ensure you're squeezing all the profit possible out of your operations. Our mining productivity improvement specialists can review your operations and provide recommendations that will help improve your ROI quickly.

Financial reporting advisory: as reporting practices become more complicated, we can help you in areas such as the determination of period depletion amounts, determination of asset retirement obligations, appropriately accounting for inventories, valuation of assets and assessment of impairment indicators.
