Cost estimation

We produce detailed and reliable cost estimates for all phases of a mining project — from conceptual study to commissioning — to ensure accurate, transparent financial planning that complies with international standards.

Data collection and validation: review of mining designs, production schedules, labor, equipment, energy, materials and services requirements.

CAPEX (capital expenditure) estimate: assessment of costs related to infrastructure, equipment, mining development, processing, support facilities, roads, energy and water management.

OPEX (operating costs) estimate: calculation of expenses related to labor, maintenance, consumables, transportation, energy and environmental management.

Methodology and precision: use of approaches adapted to the level of progress of the project (conceptual, preliminary, feasibility), with recognized precision classes (AACE, NI 43-101, SK-1300).

Benchmarking and databases: comparison with similar projects to validate the competitiveness and consistency of estimated costs.

Economic analysis and sensitivity: integration of estimates into financial models to test profitability under different price, cost or operating condition scenarios.

Result : robust, transparent and justifiable estimates, enabling decision-makers to assess the viability of the project, anticipate financial risks and optimize value creation.
