What Mineit Consulting does

Mineit Consulting Inc. is a Vancouver-based, privately held mining engineering and geoscience consulting firm founded in 2013, providing independent technical services to exploration-stage juniors, mid-tier producers, and financial/legal clients across five continents. The firm delivers NI 43-101 technical reports from scoping studies through Preliminary Economic Assessments, Pre-Feasibility Studies, and Feasibility Studies, plus mineral resource estimation, open-pit and underground mine engineering, geotechnical and rock mechanics, metallurgy and processing, project economics and valuation, BC permitting support, and mining due diligence. All reports are prepared to CIM Definition Standards and signed by in-house NI 43-101 Qualified Persons across mining engineering, geology, geotechnical, and metallurgy disciplines. The principal-led delivery model assigns the same senior team from first study to final report, with bilingual English and Simplified Chinese service delivery targeting cross-Pacific mining investment flows.

Mineit's core technology platform is built around a proprietary benchmarking database aggregating thousands of filed NI 43-101 studies over more than a decade, with 400+ variables covering CAPEX, OPEX, recoveries, and production rates, used to validate study inputs against comparable real-world projects and to calibrate underground geotechnical models against observed rock-mass behaviour. A subscription-based Junior Miner Starter Pack extends this expertise into a recurring-revenue offering sized for junior-miner budgets. The firm maintains complementary partnerships with Sacré-Davey Engineering for EPCM, Metsolve Labs for metallurgical test-work, the UBC Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining for academic collaboration, and technology partners CEC Mining Systems and Mining Doc.

The business model is professional-services led, with revenue generated from per-project studies and engineering engagements, owner's-engineer and project management mandates, and the Junior Miner Starter Pack subscription. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagements are sized per project stage and complexity, typically multi-year in duration. Go-to-market is principal-led direct sales via the firm's website RFQ/RFP intake, professional referrals, and CIM/UBC community presence, with no channel partners or resellers. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range across seven named principals, with active recruitment underway.
