How do development, production, grade, recovery, and commodity-price assumptions shape the mine plan?
Model profile
Gold Mining
Open-pit gold mine: a reserve-constrained mine plan in grams per tonne, grade and mill recovery driving troy ounces of doré, refining and secure logistics charged per ounce, World Gold Council unit costs, the gold market's own financing instruments, project finance with cover ratios, IFRS three statements, rehabilitation provisioning, a partnership waterfall, and gold-market valuation.
Decision scope
Questions this model helps you examine
What capital, operating cost, closure provision, and financing structure are required?
How do price, grade, recovery, cost, and schedule downside cases affect investment returns?
Model capabilities
What this model includes
The profile below is generated from the same catalogue and workspace definitions used by the application.
- Reserve-constrained mine plan with ramp-up, a declining strip ratio, and optional dilution and ore loss
- Grade in grams per tonne and mill recovery drive troy ounces, so revenue can never exceed the orebody
- Doré refining and secure logistics charged per ounce, with an optional silver by-product credit
- World Gold Council C1 cash cost, all-in sustaining cost, all-in cost, and the margin per ounce
- Forward sales programme and metal streaming prepayment, the gold market's own financing instruments
- Construction funding solved month by month across grant, streaming prepayment, debt and equity
- Project finance: sculpted, annuity or equal-instalment repayment, DSRA, DSCR, LLCR, PLCR and reserve tail
- IFRS three statements with units-of-production depletion, IFRIC 20 stripping, IAS 37 rehabilitation and deferred tax
- Gold price deck, net asset value by discount rate, and price-to-net-asset-value valuation
- Tiered limited and general partner distribution waterfall with preferred return and promote
- Named scenarios, goal seek, credit stress thresholds, tornado, VaR/CVaR, correlated Monte Carlo, a financing structure comparison, and an expansion decision tree
