Mining and Industry Experience
WestLand has been responding to the engineering, environmental, and regulatory challenges facing mining companies since our founding in 1997. At our company’s inception, our first three contracts were for three copper mines. We’re proud to say the mining industry has been our lifeblood since day one.
Our technical and regulatory professionals are intimately familiar with strategic and operational challenges faced by modern mining operations. They work closely with our mining counterparts and agency regulators to achieve innovative solutions for our clients. Through this approach and because of our relationships, WestLand has played a role in virtually every major mine permitting effort in Arizona since 1997. Not only are we key players in Arizona, we’ve also partnered in mining projects in New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, and California.
