INPUTS REQUIRED FROM CLIENT:
In order to enhance estimates accuracy, its recommended to have inputs from client as mine and beneficiation processes can have great spectrum of cost results. If some or all information is not available, client can ask to adopt recommended technologies/parameters (except for mining method decision which is mandatory).
General inputs needed are described below:
- Project location
- Commodity
- Process Plant production capacity (mill feed) in tons per day (Tpd)
- Life of Mine (LOM)
- Open Vs Underground Mine (if Underground, please also define mining method)
- Head grade per ore type (i.e sulphides vs oxides)
- Volumes(quantities) per ore type
- Rock strength of mine development area (Mohs scale)
- Power Supply type (from Grid, new LNG Plant needed, renewable power, etc…)
- Water supply availability (from rivers, new desalination needed or municipal)
- Estimated total Haul Roads lengths on site OR overall site preliminary layout
- Tunnels purpose, length and rock strength OR overall site preliminary layout
- Wet Tailings Dam vs Dry stack
- Ore Mineralogy
Deliverables below have an average deliver time of 3 weeks depending on current availability. Excel files are sent via email.
1)
Initial Capital Expenditures (Capex)
for Mining, Process Plant and Infrastructure:
2)
Operating expenses (Opex) at capacity in $/ton:
3)
Sustaining Capex (Sussex):
NOTE 1: Capex (1) is an input and need to be purchased in order to develop (2) or (3).
NOTE 2: CCIM does not develop mine plan nor mine schedule, so mine production plan over time is not assessed.
NOTE 3: We do not deliver any mass balance nor Process Flow Diagram (PFD’s) although balances concepts are created internally to size equipment.
NOTE 4: Its assumed that mine land area is already acquired by the owner
