One of these objectives is to [rescue distressed assets](https://www.whittleconsulting.com.au/objectives-outcomes/#objectivefourteen) within their portfolio of mining projects or operations. Let’s explore this objective in detail. #### ![Rescue Distressed Assets](https://latestnews.whittleconsulting.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Rescue%20Distressed%20Assets.png?width=452&height=300&name=Rescue%20Distressed%20Assets.png) #### 14. Rescue distressed assets **Objectives:** - Rescue loss-making or marginal mining projects & operations - Assist poor performing assets - Enable business turnarounds **Outcomes:** Improving good mining projects/operations is a very worthwhile undertaking. However, turning loss-makers into positive performers is life-changing for all involved. [Whittle Integrated Strategic Mine Planning](https://www.whittleconsulting.com.au/integrated-strategic-planning/) can make the difference to the business survival of poor performing open pit mines and underground mines. By undertaking [mine optimisation](https://www.whittleconsulting.com.au/integrated-strategic-planning/#model)with Whittle Consulting, mine planning and overall mine valuation are enhanced – turning loss makers into profitable mining operations. #### Introducing Whittle Consulting [Whittle Consulting](https://www.whittleconsulting.com.au/about-us/) are the leaders in mining consulting and are the recognised experts in [mining optimisation](https://www.whittleconsulting.com.au/integrated-strategic-planning/#model).
