> Feasibility studies to FEED

Our Feasibility to Front-End Engineering Design service is designed to guide your mining project from initial evaluation through to comprehensive design, ensuring each phase is aligned with your strategic goals and investment requirements. We provide transparent resource and reserve declarations that adhere to international standards like JORC, NI 43-101, and SAMREC, building investor trust and setting a strong foundation for future phases. Our mining feasibility studies offer structured, multi-stage evaluations that provide you with the data and insights needed for confident decision-making and effective project planning. As your project progresses, our Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase maximizes value through meticulous planning, cost transparency, and risk mitigation, preparing your project for smooth and successful execution. This integrated approach ensures that your project is technically sound, economically viable, and positioned for long-term success.

Our resource declaration service ensures that the estimation and reporting of mineral resources and reserves are conducted in full compliance with international standards such as JORC, NI 43-101, and SAMREC. This service provides transparency, accuracy, and boosts investor confidence in your project's potential. By adhering to these established standards, we offer a clear and consistent framework that supports strategic planning, attracts investment, and minimizes project uncertainties. Our resource declaration service lays the foundation for informed decision-making and future feasibility studies, enabling efficient and confident project development.

Accurate resource estimation	Develop precise estimates of mineral resources and reserves, providing a reliable foundation for project planning and investment decisions.
Compliance with reporting standards	Ensure all resource declarations adhere to relevant international codes (e.g., JORC, NI 43-101, SAMREC), maintaining credibility and meeting regulatory requirements.
Enhanced investor confidence	Provide transparent and standardized resource information, fostering trust among stakeholders and facilitating informed investment choices.
Informed project planning	Utilize detailed resource data to guide mine design, production scheduling, and economic evaluations, optimizing project development strategies.
Geological risk mitigation	Identify and address geological uncertainties early, reducing potential project risks and contributing to more robust feasibility studies.

Our mining feasibility study service provides a structured, multi-stage approach to evaluating mining projects, ensuring technical and economic feasibility from initial exploration to investment readiness. We guide clients through each phase of the feasibility process, offering thorough assessments that build confidence and support strategic project planning. By adhering to industry standards and employing expert analysis, we deliver reliable data and insights that streamline project decision-making, minimize risks, and facilitate project financing.

Scoping study (order of magnitude study)	A preliminary evaluation of a mining project’s potential, involving basic geological analysis, initial mine design concepts, and rough cost estimates. This study helps determine if a project should advance to more detailed investigations.
Pre-feasibility study (PFS)	A more detailed examination that refines geological models and engineering designs, delivering cost estimates with ±20-30% accuracy. The PFS identifies the preferred mining method and processing route for project development.
Feasibility study (FS)	An in-depth analysis covering technical, economic, and environmental factors, with detailed engineering designs and cost estimates at ±10-15% accuracy. This study serves as the foundation for final investment decisions.
Bankable feasibility study (BFS)	A comprehensive study that meets the requirements of banks and investors, providing high confidence in the project's viability. It includes detailed financial models and thorough environmental and social impact assessments.

Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) is a vital phase that sets the stage for successful project execution by maximizing value and ensuring cost efficiency. By integrating Project Value Improvement (PVI) strategies, we optimize design, construction, and operational methods to enhance project value. This approach streamlines execution, reduces costs, and mitigates risks. Our FEED services include transparent Open Book Cost Estimates (OBE) to foster collaboration and avoid hidden expenses. We also compile detailed Project Development Plans that coordinate efforts for efficient execution, supported by accurate Project Cost Estimates for financial transparency. Early risk identification and mitigation ensure projects are prepared for challenges, enabling smooth execution and long-term success.

Project Value improvement	Enhance overall project value from the outset through proactive design, construction, and operational optimization, leading to cost savings and improved performance.
Open Book Cost Estimate (OBE)	Deliver transparent and precise project cost estimates to foster collaboration and ensure financial clarity, avoiding hidden expenses and enhancing project confidence.
Project development plans	Compile comprehensive and well-coordinated plans that align all project aspects, ensuring efficient and timely execution with clear milestones and effective collaboration.
Project cost estimates	Provide accurate, comprehensive financial overviews through advanced project management software, supporting transparency and ensuring projects remain on budget.
Project risks and requirements	Identify and mitigate potential project risks early in the FEED phase, ensuring preparedness and minimizing disruptions for successful project outcomes.
