Mechel OAO

 

Resource/Reserve Audits

Russia

Challenge:  Mechel needed a cost effective yet accurate method to determine if resource and reserve estimates developed using Russian standards could be applied to U.S. SEC and Australasian JORC standards with only minimal electronic information available.

Solution:  Marston combined its expert knowledge of Russian classifications and U.S. SEC and Australasian JORC standards to cost effectively validate the estimates.
