Distinguishing Our Difference
The pillars of COMET Strategy

Built on Ken Lane’s foundational optimisation work and advanced by Dr Brett King, our approach combines proven theory with disciplined economic reasoning and practical mine planning application.
Experienced, Specialised Expertise
We are experienced engineers who provide high-level guidance, practical mentoring, training, and dependable support across complex strategic planning work.
Sophisticated, Dynamic Modelling
Our modelling keeps more of the real problem intact, simultaneously optimising interacting policies, constraints, and changing conditions across project life for more robust strategic decisions.
Disciplined, Authentic Ethos
We value truth, people and function. We choose substance over hype, and legitimate capability over traditional methods. These shape everything we build, teach, and support.
