Unearthing Sustainability Insights for global mining and metals.

About us

Skarn Associates' goal is to support the mining and metals sectors in reducing their environmental impacts, by providing actionable strategic insight into energy use, GHG emissions, decarbonisation economics and water use. Based on our detailed asset level analysis of over 1,700 assets, development projects, smelters and refineries globally, including forecasts to 2030, we deliver deep insight into the interplay between mineral economics and environmental impacts. Our most recent launch, the Skarn Decarbonisation Quarterly, tracks global trends in decarbonising supply chains for key energy transition metals. Skarn's Water subsidiary, Skarn Water, provides unique benchmarking of water stewardship for 450+ copper and gold mines, with development under way to extend coverage to zinc and nickel. With climate changing, water stewardship and increasing production risks from drought and floods are becoming ever more important influencers of mining output and profit. Leading edge data, analysis, forecasts and consultancy from Skarn enable our clients to benchmark energy and emissions performance and: - analyse the proposed decarbonisation pathways of different companies, highlighting risks, timelines and costs - assess technological prospects such as fleet electrification and Power Purchase Agreements - understand the policies and standards which are driving change. Skarn’s senior team has immense experience, working for leading mining information businesses such as Wood Mackenzie, CRU, S&P Global and Thompson Reuters Refinitiv. Key personnel include Mark Fellows (Co-founder & CEO), Nick Morgan (Chairman), Sophie Chung (Director Strategy & Development), Raymond Philippe (Skarn Water), Rob Garlick (CFO), Martin Hollands (Director, Environment), Fernando Araya (COO) and Kate Cummings (Head of Commercial). Clients include some of the largest global mining companies, Anglo American, BHP, Glencore, Rio Tinto, Vale, Freeport and Teck, plus major financial institutions.
