The company provides solutions for all aspects of mine planning, management and operation, while RGS delivers geochemistry and hydrogeochemical water and waste management services to mining companies located across Australia, South America, Africa and the Asia Pacific region.

RGS principal geochemical engineer Greg Maddocks said: “By integrating our service offerings – and our deep and disparate knowledge of the resources sector – RGS and Deswik can help clients reduce their liabilities and achieve better outcomes.”

Deswik managing director Matt Chilcott added that the alliance affirmed the company’s commitment to helping mining companies increase value during all stages of the mining process.

In September 2019, Deswik acquired a minority stake in its Brazilian reseller partner MCB Services and Minerals.
