Plans that survive contact with the pit
Mine planning, drill & blast optimisation and cost modelling from a team that mines every day — advice validated against real fleet and cost data.
The service
Technical advisory calibrated to the Arabian Peninsula — phosphate, gold and base-metal operations across the Arabian Shield where haul distance, heat and water discipline set the real cost per tonne. Our models are built from live operating data, not regional benchmarks, and our teams mobilise fast to run studies, safety readiness reviews and owner's-team support in-country. Every engagement carries a nationalisation pathway, so the capability we bring is the capability we transfer.

What we deliver
Mine Planning & Design
Pit and underground design, sequencing and life-of-asset planning written by engineers who also run the schedules they write. Every plan is tested against real advance rates and fleet performance before it reaches your desk.
Drill & Blast Optimisation
Pattern and blast design engineered backwards from the fragmentation your crusher or shovel actually needs, with post-blast measurement to prove the gain in dig rate and downstream cost.
Fleet & Cost Modelling
Fleet sizing, replacement strategy and cost-per-tonne models built from live contract data across 2,000+ machines — not textbook assumptions — so your budget survives year one.
Scheduling & Optimisation
Short-, medium- and long-term scheduling that maximises value and de-risks the plan, with compliance-to-plan reporting owners can hold us to.
Operational Readiness
Systems, people and mobilisation planning that take a project from study to first ore without ramp-up drift — maintenance regimes, crew pipelines and reporting cadence ready on day one.
Owner's-Team Support
Experienced operators embedded in your team — technical reviews, contractor management and secondments that build your people's capability through structured skills transfer.
Studies & Cost Benchmarking
Pre-feasibility and feasibility inputs plus contract-mining cost benchmarking that give your board a defensible cost per tonne before capital is committed.
Advisory That Builds National Capability
Every consulting engagement is structured to develop national engineers and planners alongside our own — owner's-team secondments, graduate pathways and structured skills transfer aligned to Saudization, Omanization and local-content programmes. The technical depth stays in your operation after the engagement ends.
Proven by the Group
Proven by the Group. Adapted for the region.
The services described here are not theoretical. They are the work Corica Group has delivered across African mining contracts for more than two decades — open pit, underground, exploration drilling, site civils, infrastructure and technical services. The Middle East is the next regional platform for that capability.
Why Corica
What sets this service apart
Advisory from operators, not consultants
Our plans are written by people who have to execute them. Every assumption is checked against real fleet, cost and rate data from operations we run today — so the plan survives contact with the pit.
De-risk the decision before the contract
Cost modelling and study support that give you certainty on cost per tonne and schedule before you commit capital — from an advisory partner who can step forward into a performance contract when you are ready.
Whole-of-mine intelligence, nationally built
Because Corica drills, mines, builds and rehabilitates, our technical view spans your full lifecycle — and every engagement develops national engineers and planners alongside our own toward Saudization, Omanization and local-content targets, so the depth stays in your operation. One partner's perspective from exploration data to closure landform.
