Riskope

What Riskope does

Riskope is a Vancouver-based advisory firm, founded in 1988, that provides risk management consulting, training, and coaching services. The firm operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and delivers multidisciplinary risk analysis primarily to mining companies, project developers, lenders, and insurers through enterprise-focused direct engagement. Its work is integrated within SRK Consulting's broader service catalog, where Riskope's risk assessment offerings are cross-listed under both Corporate Advisory and Mining Project Evaluation.

Riskope's core product is its Mining Risk Assessment Services portfolio, which integrates risk management tools with technical analysis to relate risk data to financial, environmental, community, and health and safety objectives. The offering includes geotechnical risk analysis for open pit and underground mining, tailings dam break analysis, mud rush risk evaluation, ESG risk identification, enterprise risk assessment, technical-economic model risk analysis, decision analysis, and risk-informed alternatives comparison using cost-benefit and risk-cost analyses. Codified methodologies such as Multidisciplinary Risk Analysis, Failure Mode and Criticality Analysis, and Risk-Informed Decision Analysis form the analytical backbone. The firm also productizes its expertise through in-person and online risk management workshops.

The revenue model is professional services fee-based, with engagements quoted and tailored to specific project requirements. Geographic reach is global, supported by office locations in Vancouver, Lima, and Cardiff and project work spanning mining jurisdictions in Africa, Asia, and other regions. Customer engagements tend to be sizable project mandates, as illustrated by engagements with Namekara (Uganda vermiculite), Gare Palma (India coal), and Kwale (Kenya heavy mineral sands). Distribution is primarily direct, augmented by the Riskope Blogs thought-leadership platform featuring 65+ articles by Franco and Cesar Oboni on risk assessment topics.
