At Palaris, we are not just consultants – we pride ourselves that we are mining professionals with real-world experience across commodities in underground and open pit operations globally providing practical outputs rooted in reality for greenfield development or brownfield expansion.

Since 2000, Palaris has grown into one of the leading advisory organisations in mine consultancy in coal, and over the last 5 years we have broadened  our foothold into the minerals industry - 30% of our business in now in the metals industry. 

We are one of the only consulting firms where mining and engineering work side by side. 

80% of our business is from repeat business with our existing client base. We know why our clients continue to come back to us. Our recent client survey showed that our clients value us for being responsive, reliable and independent. Our depth and breadth of experience matters. 

At Palaris, we offer a flexible approach to all services – and our approach is tailored to meet individual project or clients’ requirements. 

Our flexibility extends to how we treat our people – we trust our experienced team to get the job done – on time and on budget. We give them autonomy to work the hours that meet their needs – in return many of our staff have remained loyal to us for over 10 years.  Our team will tell you that they came to Palaris for the opportunity, but they stay because of the challenge – every day is different – every project is different. Employing the best means you get to work alongside the best. 

We are the trusted advisor to the resource industry - with offices in Australia, UK and South Africa – we have multi discipline teams from each of our global offices ready to mobilise.
