Opportunity and feasibility studies

Our mining and financial experts can determine whether your deposit has the potential to become a profitable mine. Our studies provide the level of detail required to make informed decisions at each stage of the mineral value chain.

Our studies range from early stage opportunity studies, through pre-feasibility studies to bankable document preparation, such as feasibility studies.

Every technical, economic and environmental aspect of the project is investigated to the level of detail commensurate with the available information and is followed up with a detailed project report.

A sensitivity analysis is performed for studies at a more advanced stage, when input parameters can be determined more accurately. This is followed by a risk analysis for the more sensitive parameters, to assess the risk of project failure.

These studies will provide guidance at each stage of the project, including mine restructuring, mine expansion, and rehabilitation, or while looking for investment alternatives. They can also be the basis for raising capital in the form of equity or loans.
