At AMC, our purpose is to unearth a smarter way

We help mining leaders evaluate opportunities, solve hidden productivity challenges, and improve performance across the mining cycle. Put another way, we help miners find smarter ways to mine and unearth hidden business value.

Here’s how we’re different from other mining consultants

Driven by data

Every report we produce is underpinned by our Smart Data™ System — the world’s most comprehensive site-level validated data. Our Smart Data™ System is filled with mining cost and productivity data across mining methods, commodity types, geographies, and more — collected and validated at site level to ensure accuracy.


This system enables us to rapidly benchmark and cross-check new data, providing an unprecedented level of insight and accuracy in our recommendations. It also drives our two world-leading cost modelling systems, which regularly deliver estimates within 5% of actuals.

Frontline experience

Recommendations long in theory and low in practicality destroy more value than they create. That’s why we only employ career miners with exceptional experience and the highest integrity.


People who understand both the art and science of mining, who won’t avoid the reality of the challenge — because while our data and systems are world-leading, it’s still our people who define us.
