Maintaining project viability while facing increased scrutiny

Your challenges

Mining and exploration companies face one priority above all: to ensure their projects’ commercial, technical and operational viability. They must also ensure shipment quality. For traders, certainty in the value of commercial settlements is a key concern. Across the entire life cycle, from early stage exploration through trading to smelting and recycling, companies seek to minimize risk while attaining high industry standards.

How we support you

Working in major world ports and global mining and refining locations, Bureau Veritas has the infrastructure and expertise to minimize your commercial risk through upstream and trade services.
