Scoping studies and mine plans

SCOPE OF WORK

• We identify preliminary mining, processing, recovery and saleable-product options.
• Where data are sufficient, we estimate indicative capital and operating costs and assess infrastructure, water and energy requirements.
• We test scenario sensitivity to grade, recovery, throughput, costs and price assumptions.
• We develop a study plan for the next project stage.
• Prepared and updated with mine design specialists: geological basis, mining sequence, scheduled ore and waste volumes, mine geometry and infrastructure. We coordinate the sections and support responses to technical comments.
