Open-pit and underground mining. Drill & blast, load & haul, grade control and reconciliation.

03

Processing & Metallurgy

CIL/CIP operations, crushing, milling, recovery optimisation and debottlenecking.

04

Optimisation

Continuous improvement, life-of-mine extension, margin enhancement and technology integration.

Stage 01

Mine Development

From site acquisition to first ore, BRADKY manages the full development pathway with disciplined scheduling and contractor oversight.

  • Greenfield and brownfield mine development
  • Mine design and production scheduling
  • Contractor selection, procurement and mobilisation

  • Commissioning and production ramp-up management
  • Capital tracking and variance reporting
Stage 02

Production Operations

Daily operational discipline from pit to plant, with strong safety culture and rigorous cost management at the core.

  • Open-pit and underground mining operations
  • Drill and blast design and execution
  • Load and haul fleet optimisation
  • Workforce, contractor and HSE management
  • Grade control, sampling and reconciliation
  • Cost control and KPI reporting
Stage 03

Processing & Metallurgy

Plant performance and recovery maximisation are backed by Gordon Cunningham's process engineering expertise and in-field metallurgical testing.

  • Crushing, milling and classification circuits
  • Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) and Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) operations
  • Recovery optimisation and metallurgical test programs
  • Throughput expansion and debottlenecking
  • Reagent, consumables and maintenance cost reduction
  • Elution, electrowinning and smelting management
Stage 04

Asset Optimisation

Continuous improvement is embedded in operations, extending mine life, enhancing margins and integrating emerging technologies.

  • Continuous improvement and lean operations programs
  • Life-of-mine extension and reserve conversion strategies
  • Capital efficiency and sustaining capex planning
  • Revenue and profitability reporting systems
  • Technology integration and automation opportunities
  • Waste-to-Energy deployment for energy self-sufficiency
Operational Differentiator

Waste-to-Energy: built into every operation

Via Inrim Waste to Energy Pty Ltd, BRADKY integrates continuous pyrolysis technology to generate power and synthetic diesel directly on site, reducing grid dependency, diesel imports and operating costs.

Waste Input

Site and community waste streams collected

Pyrolysis

500–700°C continuous thermal processing

Electricity

Self-sustaining on-site power generation

EN590 Diesel

Synthetic diesel for mining fleet use

Zero GHG Emissions

Continuous pyrolysis produces no net greenhouse gas emissions from waste conversion.

Energy Self-Sufficiency

Self-sustaining power generation reduces grid reliance and diesel import costs significantly.

Minimal By-Product

Minimal char residue from the pyrolysis process supports clean, efficient energy extraction.

Carbon Credits

ESG performance improvements create potential for carbon credit generation and trading.
