Fab5 is the only firm that integrates governance across tailings, open pit, underground, waste dumps, and stockpiles — harmonizing 8+ international standards into one system that costs 30–50% less than fragmented consulting.
Years Leading Mining Innovation
After 15 years inside the world’s largest mining operations, Fabricio da Silva saw the same pattern everywhere: five consultants, five methodologies, zero integration. So he built what should have existed all along.
His career is defined by the successful implementation of industry-leading standards, including GISTM, TSM, and CMSI across multiple jurisdictions. Notable achievements include architecting integrated mining solutions that have revolutionized operational efficiency and establishing seamless technological ecosystems.
With extensive international expertise spanning the Americas, Oceania, and the South Pacific, he possesses a proven ability to drive innovation while ensuring strict regulatory compliance and peak operational performance.
