"Davies uncovered misunderstandings and found the best messages and means to meet and talk with people in our small community, allowing us to make new friends, build a movement of support, and overwhelm the naysayers — resulting in a timely approval of an extension and expansion for our mine. Not only did Davies get how to motivate supporters, they literally understood the opponents next move, before they made them."

"Securing a mining permit is fraught with challenges, especially overcoming public and environmentalist opposition. How the public perceives a mining proposal sets the agenda of debate for the public review and permitting process.
Davies’ wealth of knowledge, expertise, and experience in shaping public opinion and organizing public support for mining makes them an invaluable part of a permitting team. They greatly enhance your ability to secure permits in a timely manner."
