Whittling away the waste

Ailbhe Goodbody attended Whittle Consulting’s Money Mining seminar in London in March, and learned about a fresh approach to optimising mining enterprises.

Whittle Consulting is a family business based in Melbourne, Australia, which is represented in South Africa, North America, South America, Asia and Europe and effectively operating worldwide.

The company offers a service called ‘enterprise optimisation’, a complete approach to extracting maximum value from a mining enterprise. Enterprise optimisation is the culmination of 30 years of development by Jeff Whittle, technical director of Whittle Consulting. The company’s vision is to be the global standard for strategic mine planning, and its mission is to transform the economic performance of mining globally. A recent alliance with JKTech in March 2013 added a sustainability framework to the approach.

Whittle Consulting runs Money Mining seminars throughout the year to give a comprehensive briefing on the latest techniques in enterprise optimisation. The London seminar was presented by Gerald Whittle, managing director of Whittle Consulting. He comments: “Mining is a technical business, run by technical people with a focus on the physicals. We need this, but an economic focus is also needed.”
