ACQUISITION: Golder adds Marston and Marston to expertise

CALGARY - Golder Associates has acquired the Marston and Masrton, a full-service mining consultancy that specializes in mine planning and geologic services for open pit and underground coal, metals, oil sands, and industrial minerals.

The acquisition boosts Golder's capabilities as a global leader in mining by expanding its mine planning and resource evaluation capabilities in energy minerals, particularly coal and the Alberta oil sands. It also expands opportunities to provide Golder's traditional services - including geotechnical engineering, mine waste management, environmental services and permitting, and reclamation and closure - to new clients in the world's major coal-producing regions.

Marston will join the existing Golder offices in Denver, CO and Calgary, Alberta while also retaining its existing locations in St. Louis, MO, San Antonio, TX and Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Visit www.Golder.com to locate the office closest to your project.
