GRS maintain expertise in scoping, pre feasibility and detailed feasibility studies. These services typically include study management of resource definition, mine planning, metallurgical testing and process development, design engineering, capital and operating cost estimations, environmental compliance, project controls and audits/reviews. As feasibility studies approach completion, additional services include audits and reviews of key deliverables such as capital and operating costs and study reports.

The study management business aspect of GRS provides a staged approach to project development through the application of the company project management system. This approach consists of three feasibility study stages, two project execution stages and final close out stage. This concept is further detailed in the following graphic.

Attention to detail during the three study phases (Assess, Select and Develop) of the project life cycle is critical to ensuring the optimum option is selected and developed to a level that will support project approval and funding. Failure to complete this option analysis will result in a sub optimal outcome as it gets increasing difficult to implement major changes to project scope further into the project lifecycle, without increasing the risk for potential delays in the schedule and an over run in cost. This attention to detail is fundamental to a predictable project outcome and is inherent in our culture and ethos.
