MEC Mining acquires METServe, expands into environmental services

Australian-based global technical services firm MEC Mining has acquired environmental services company METServe, positioning it as a provider of end-to-end services across the full mining life cycle.

The combined service offering will encompass all aspects of environmental services previously provided by METServe including approvals, impact assessment, environmental management, closure and rehabilitation, ecology, social, GIS analysis and cartography.

MEC Mining chief executive Christofer Catania says the acquisition complements MEC’s portfolio.

“METServe has a 20-year history of working within industry on successful project approvals across the federal, state, and territory levels in Australia,” he said.

“It’s exciting to bring METServe into the MEC group, our combined services offerings and mutual focus on supporting our clients as journey partners makes this a fantastic strategic fit.

“This step further strengthens our ability to support our clients at all stages of their mining projects.

“We have continued our growth and diversification path to better support our clients and mining industry, delivering first class services and contributing towards sustainable solutions across industry.”

Mr Catania says MEC Mining is well equipped with in-house expertise in mining engineering, environmental, geological, geotechnical and advisory services for the resources sector.

METServe general manager Dave Moss says “the acquisition not only complements our extensive history but also aligns seamlessly with our commitment to contributing significantly to sustainable solutions across various industries”.

“Our role in potential exploration and mining projects, coupled with MEC’s diversified portfolio, reinforces our collective ability to offer comprehensive environmental services,” he said.
