Mining
Transforming energy and resource companies
Mining companies are experiencing unprecedented change. Sustainable development, commodities pricing, cost controls and consolidation are just some of the challenges that constantly test even the most established organizations. To be successful in this environment, companies must remain nimble and creative, yet still focused on their goals.
From junior exploration companies to the large integrated mining companies increasingly dominating the industry, from the first exploration drill hole to mine closures and reclamation, KPMG's Energy and Natural Resources practice understands major issues in the mining industry.
Our dedication to the Mining industry is evidenced by KPMG's Global Centers of Excellence for Mining. The Centers, based in Toronto, Vancouver, Melbourne, Perth, Johannesburg, London, Denver, Phoenix and Santiago all play a role in developing a worldwide market focus, recruiting experienced personnel, staying abreast of issues affecting the global mining industry, developing products that add value to the mining industry, and thought leadership. The centers act as a point of access to the knowledge that our members firms' can offer locally and around the world. Our objective is to continue to develop a network of centers to help each other deliver the most effective services to our clients.
