Mining & Minerals Processing

With advances in process design and environmental protection standards, mining of precious metals and minerals is experiencing a market resurgence in the U.S. and other mineral-rich countries. As alternatives to fossil fuel energy dependence are being sought, America’s nuclear power industry is growing once again.  With worldwide shortfalls in uranium supply projected over the next two decades, uranium mines and milling facilities are now being re-opened and re-engineered to operate in accordance with today’s standards. Pennoni has developed substantial expertise in uranium mining and milling design and operations, including aqueous, chemical and mechanical processes that resemble traditional environmental treatment processes. 

Pennoni has successfully applied its full-service engineering portfolio to support minerals and aggregate mining and milling projects across the U.S. and in South America. Currently, our engineers, geologists and scientists are designing upgrades to existing facilities as well as new sites in New Mexico, Wyoming, Pennsylvania and South America.  

We have maintained excellent client satisfaction with mining companies, aggregate producers, in-situ recovery producers, and as subcontractor support to other engineering firms. We offer highly experienced process development capabilities, environmental engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering design,  site/civil and structural engineering support to our clients and potential clients in this dynamic and growing market.
