Who Are We
SMG Consultants (SMGC) started business in Australia in 1966 as a global geological and mining software developer. In the 60’s, SMGC was providing support and mining solutions using analytical tools developed by ECS, the developers of the Minex software platform. In 2002, ECS, a division of ECS International, merged with Surpac Software International to form the Surpac Minex Group (SMG), an integrated software development company that also provided mine consulting services.
In July 2009, SMGC was founded in Indonesia as a centre to serve its client base across Southeast Asia. SMGC, headquartered in Jakarta, is an independent mining consulting group providing geological, resource evaluation, mining engineering, mine planning, JORC/KCMI/NI43-101/VALMIN reporting and mine valuation services to the resource, power, investment and financial services industries.
With a unique combination of technical staff and mining software, SMGC is able to offer a broad range of services including the planning and management of exploration programs, geological modelling, JORC/KCMI Resource and Reserve Reports, project feasibility, due diligence studies, mine design and scheduling.
SMGC’s commodity experience and client base falls across Thermal Coal, Metallurgical Coal, Nickel, Copper, Gold, Tin, Manganese and Bitumen sectors to name a few. SMGC has an Indonesian Government issued “Mining Services License” required by law to work in Indonesia and provide technical mining services.
SMGC also offers site-based services that include survey, drill and blast, pit design, geological exploration and production scheduling and simulation.
SMGC services are accurate and timely to best serve the vibrant international mining industry. To achieve ultimate results and precise estimations for its clients, SMGC regularly joins forces with specialists in field data review, environmental studies, soil and rock mechanics modelling, milling and washing studies, and capex/opex estimation.
To ensure adherence to professional reporting codes such as the JORC/KCMI code and due diligence work, many of SMGC’s consultants are recognised as ‘Competent Persons’.
