Respectful relationships and proper process.
Toclla Consulting is a Mining and Environment consultancy benefiting from over 20 years of experience in environmental assessment and permitting processes, servicing clients in Latin America and Canada. Toclla embraces challenging assignments, working collaboratively with proponents and interested and affected parties to navigate the complexity between engineering, environmental and public participation demands, and in turn add value to mining projects in their development phase. At Toclla Consulting, following proper process is considered as important as the resulting outcomes, and establishing respectful and inclusive relationships between proponents, communities and government agencies is seen as central to achieving this.
