Segilola Gold Project
The Segilola gold project is a high-grade gold project being developed in Osun, Nigeria.
Mine Environment Management (MEM) is a specialised technical geoscience consulting company that focuses on developing and delivering innovative solutions for the sustainable environmental management of mine sites and related waste.
MEM is experienced in the environmental management of tailings and waste rock storage facilities across a wide range of geographical locations, climatic site settings, and commodity types.
Implementing a shared passion for geoscience, the environment, and geology, we operate across the full life of mine cycle from newly discovered deposits through to closed legacy sites.
MEM believes that the finalisation of mining activities can provide an opportunity for a new positive purpose for the site. We are enthusiastic in our approach to post-mining repurposing and rehabilitation that aims to establish a positive legacy of mining activities and a successful transition to a new application.
We have significant experience of progressive closure planning and concepts and understand that progressive closure strategies are integral to successful long-term risk management. Our capabilities are customised to meet the requirements and conditions of the mine site.
Our technical support services for mine site rehabilitation and repurposing applications include:
A number of the world’s largest engineering projects comprise mine waste facilities and can pose significant long-term site management risks.
Our approach enables integrated, sustainable and innovative planning to successfully manage long-term environmental risks. Our technical team are experienced in the assessment, design and management of tailings and waste rock storage facilities worldwide in climates from the arctic to the tropics.
We offer a range of support services for the environmental management for tailings and waste rock such as:
MEM offers a vertically integrated service offering, where the company designs, manages and controls the geochemical testing process from site sampling through the laboratory and to data analysis.
We understand that laboratory data provides the scientific basis for the majority of technical studies related to environmental management. We believe in a first-principles scientific approach as no site is the same and as such our guiding principle is to be specialised and not generalised. To deliver our integrated services we are partnered with a specialised geochemistry laboratory whose facilities offer innovative and customised laboratory testing services in the area of geochemistry and waste characterisation.
We support and actively engage in world-leading research and development in the areas of mine site geochemistry, mine waste management and water treatment. Our close partnerships with academia, industry and laboratories allow us access to leading facilities and researchers.
We offer a range of support services for research and development and laboratory testing to include:
When exploration drill rigs start turning to the rehabilitation of the site, geochemistry underpins critical decision making and planning for many aspects of a mining project.
MEM believes that geochemistry assessments should be integrated as a cross-discipline and life of mine activity. We are experienced in working with operational site teams and our principles are based on the demands of modern mine operations. Mine planning is central to the achievement of great outcomes and we recognise the balance between meeting short term production goals, and long term planning to minimise risk. As such we aim to adopt a consistent pragmatic and practical approach.
Our mine waste modelling, planning and operational optimisation services include:
MEM understands that water treatment is often required to support site operations as part of environmental management. In addition, it may be the only practical option to effectively manage many legacy sites.
We focus on supporting the development and implementation of innovative and sustainable water treatment technologies such as sono-electrical water treatment systems being developed in Wales.
Our technical support services in the field of water treatment includes geochemical analysis and assessment; hydrogeochemistry; principal component, options appraisal and cost-benefit analysis; concept engineering design; and laboratory treatment studies and trials.
