For the success of any mining operation, accurate data on reserves, cost estimations, and project planning are essential. However, lack of on-site knowledge and adherence to environmental regulations are primary concerns faced by mining organizations. Mines often fail to comply with statutory requirements, primarily due to a lack of awareness among workers and mine owners. This leads to penalties, even legal due-diligences and hampers long-term sustainability in their operations. Organizations need help from consultancies like Sathi Planners to navigate the intricacies of mining operations throughout the entire lifecycle of a project.
