About SKEmet
THE ENGINEER BEHIND THE SIMULATION
SKEmet is a specialist process engineering consultancy built around the singular expertise of Samantha Edwards BSc Eng (Chemical); PGDip (BusAdmin) - one of South Africa's leading METSIM(R) practitioners with 15+ years of hands-on mineral process simulation experience across four continents.
Founded in May 2022, SKEmet was established with a clear purpose: to bring genuine METSIM(R) simulation depth to the global mining industry at a level typically reserved for the larger engineering houses - delivered with the agility and direct technical engagement that only a specialist boutique can offer.​
​
Our team of experts, armed with global insights and extensive experience, specialises in mass and energy balances - ensuring every project is optimised for success. From Respurce Definition to final plant handover, we bring a meticulous approach to plant design and project delivery, consistently exceeding client expectations.​
​
Our footprint spans continents, with successful projects in South Africa, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Saudi Arabia, Europe, the Dominican Republic, North and South America.
​
At SKEmet, we believe that every simulation model should do more than balance on a spreadsheet - it should tell you why your plant behaves the way it does, and exactly what to change to make it better.
