Global Mining Services

History

GMS was established in 1994 to provide a broad range of high-quality, cost-effective and practical technical services to the mining industry.

In 1996, in order to manage the growth of GMS, two separate divisions were established, one for general consulting work to the mining industry and the second for the project management of underground mining projects, named GMS Projects.

In September 2002, the consulting arm of GMS merged with Resource Service Group to form RSG Global. This permitted the continued and stable growth of consulting expertise within a separate entity to GMS, which grew rapidly to become an internationally recognised market leader in its field.

In September 2006 RSG Global was acquired by ASX-listed Coffey International Limited and integrated into Coffey Mining.

During the four-year period between September 2002 and 2006, GMS Projects (then simply branded as GMS) continued to operate as a separate entity. After the acquisition of RSG Global by Coffey in 2006, the GMS project management capability was incorporated into a new Coffey company named Coffey Mine Development. However, in March 2008, GMS commenced providing underground mining project management and implementation services under its own name again.
  

The New GMS

GMS now offers two distinct but related technical services to the Australian and international mining and business industry.

GMS Mining provides a broad range of practical, “hands-on” consulting services to the mining industry, which is backed up by a group that excels in mine implementation and project management services for the development of new and existing projects.

GMS Infrastructure comprises a team of multi-disciplinary engineers that provide an integrated engineering design capability to a wide range of mining and non-mining applications. The group also specialises in the project delivery of a broad range of infrastructure construction projects in the diversified service and mining industries.
