Our History

Over 30 years ago a husband and wife team started a small business in Perth, Western Australia, to provide geological consulting Services to the local mining industry. Today that business has grown into a premium consulting group with a global footprint and a reputation for delivering high quality services across the mining life cycle, with the same personal touch and values on which Phil and Viv Snowden founded the business.

Snowden owes much to the many staff and clients that have shaped the business over the years. Staff, both past and present, have added their own personal character and technical expertise to the company’s culture and expanding service offerings. Our clients have provided exciting and diverse challenges and projects, with Snowden working alongside them to achieve their goals.
Snowden is now owned by Datamine Software, part of Constellation Software Inc, the largest listed software company in Canada.
