As global demand for critical minerals surges, North America is accelerating project development to secure domestic supply chains, fast-track permitting, and produce value-added battery materials locally.

Our team in North America is playing a key role in this transformation, delivering execution and study-level work for major projects in lithium, rare earth elements, graphite, copper, cobalt, antimony, and nickel.

Last week, DRA Global officially opened its Phoenix office in Arizona, attended by our senior leaders, including our CEO and Managing Director, James Smith.

Vikram Jayaraman, SVP of North America said: "This expansion marks the beginning of an exciting journey. We look forward to the opportunities this office brings for our team and clients as we continue driving impactful projects in the region."

With the Southwest U.S. emerging as a crucial centre for copper, gold, and battery metals, our expansion strengthens the region’s role in meeting the world’s growing resource needs. This milestone underscores our commitment to innovative solutions, sustainable resource development, and supporting our clients and the global mining industry.
