SRK Consulting

What SRK Consulting does

SRK Consulting is an international consultancy providing independent technical and multidisciplinary services to the global mining and natural-resource industries, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. The firm operates as a network of regional consulting practices — including SRK North America, South Africa, Australia, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, and an Exploration arm — coordinated under SRK Consulting (Global) Ltd., with offices in 22+ jurisdictions across the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. SRK specializes in technical reporting compliant with international mining codes (notably NI 43-101 and JORC), mineral resource estimation, due diligence, mine engineering, mining geotechnics, mine waste management, environmental and social impact assessment, water management, and mine closure planning. Its client base is dominated by mining-company issuers requiring qualified-person sign-off for stock-exchange listings, project finance, and acquisitions; named engagements include work for Silvercorp Metals, Snowline Gold, West Wits Mining, Defense Metals, Grande Portage, and GoldQuest Mining.

SRK's underlying service stack spans 12+ practice areas delivered by qualified-person-accredited specialists, supplemented by proprietary technology assets including ventilation software for mine engineering, innovative geological mapping software introduced in 2024, and an in-house geotechnical laboratory established in Johannesburg in February 2025 for tailings testing and GISTM compliance. Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements priced individually based on project scope and complexity — there is no publicly disclosed pricing, no software-as-a-service offering, no public API, and no disclosed financial metrics. Marketing reach is built on thought-leadership publications through the SRK Knowledge Centre, technical training programs, conference participation, and the firm's 50-year brand reputation as an independent authority. The firm has 1,001-5,000 employees globally and reports no institutional ownership, functioning as a private partnership network whose regional practices retain some independent ownership while being affiliated with the UK-domiciled global entity.
