A C A Howe International Limited originally commenced operations as a geological and mining consultancy service in Canada in 1961. The UK office was opened in 1978 and the two offices maintain close co-operation on many projects in order to augment expertise and offer a more efficient service to clients where appropriate. In addition to their full-time technical and support staff the group also has a number of long-standing Associates who provide assistance on specific projects on a regular basis.

Howe has now provided expertise on well over one thousand projects for the minerals industry on many levels of development, ranging from area selection and grass roots exploration for mining companies to reserve audits and feasibility studies for financial institutions.

These projects have seen our personnel travel all over the world, often having to deal with climatic and cultural issues in addition to geotechnical problems.
