Mining

ICG provides Market Research and Consulting services in Mining since the company’s establishing in 1998.

We have partner relations with natural resources ministries, coal industry ministries, geology survey authorities, licensing authorities, stat offices, Custom Offices, environmental control bodies, etc, several large state-run and private mining holdings, suppliers of mining machinery, etc. We have abilities to make interviews in local languages, to access governmental and industry sources (such as statistic databases, Custom offices’ import and export records, license and certification registers, best-practice-case databases, etc.)

Currently we provide the following services in mining markets worldwide:
