Iron Ore
WGM is one of the foremost leaders in iron ore exploration and mining consulting services. Our professional staff and associates have amassed decades of experience in some of the world’s most iron-rich countries, in areas ranging from grassroots exploration (design, management and implementation) to mine planning, including processing and recovery options. The late Murray Watts was the original discoverer of the Mary River iron ore deposits, now wholly-owned by Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation.
WGM has completed numerous technical and due diligence reviews, Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates and audits, and optimization analyses of projects at various stages of development.
