African Mining Consultants

African Mining Consultants Limited (AMC) is a geological, mining, and environmental engineering firm based on the Zambian Copperbelt. The company was formed in 1994 following the signing of affiliation agreements with Golder Associates, a geotechnical and environmental engineering company with more than fifty offices around the world, and Bluhm Burton Engineering, a respected South African ventilation consultancy.

AMC has more than 45 permanent employees and external professionals working in numerous locations across Africa bringing a real experience to the continent. The company's principal aim is to provide consulting and project management services to the mining industry in the region.
