Enhanced value and sustainability	By incorporating lean mining practices and proactive environmental management into LOM studies, TacminMadini helps clients minimize their ecological footprint and enhance sustainability.
Financial viability	Accurate and reliable LOM studies and reserve declarations are crucial for securing funding from investors and financial institutions. These documents provide the necessary assurances of project viability and potential returns.

TacminMadini offers specialized trade-off studies between owner-operated and contract mining. These studies provide a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, helping clients choose the most cost-effective and efficient mining method for their operations. By leveraging TacminMadini’s expertise in conducting owner versus contract miner trade-off studies, clients can achieve optimized mining costs, improved operational efficiency, and informed strategic decisions. This comprehensive approach ensures that clients can navigate the complexities of modern mining operations with confidence and achieve sustainable, profitable outcomes. For clients considering a shift to owner-operated mining, TacminMadini offers pilot programs that simulate the change on a small scale, providing valuable insights and minimizing risk before full implementation

Detailed cost breakdown	TacminMadini’s studies involve breaking down mining costs into their components, providing a clear comparison of the total costs involved in owner-operated versus contract mining scenarios. This detailed cost analysis helps clients understand the financial implications of each option.
Resource utilisation	The studies identify the most suitable mobile equipment and other resources, ensuring optimal utilization and cost-efficiency. This includes obtaining formal capital and life cycle costs from leading OEMs and incorporating these into the cost estimates
Predictive Life Cycle Modeling	TacminMadini employs project life cycle models based on sound cost engineering principles. These models enable clients to predict project outcomes and budget conformance through “what-if” scenarios, enhancing risk management and financial planning
Strategic Decision-Making	TacminMadini’s trade-off studies offer a holistic view of the operational and financial impacts of owner-operated versus contract mining, helping clients make strategic decisions that align with their business goals and operational needs

High-quality engineering designs	Our team delivers advanced engineering designs, including front-end engineering design (FEED), mine design, production scheduling, and detailed execution plans. These designs are tailored to optimize operations and ensure compliance with all technical and regulatory requirements.
Integrated planning and execution	TacminMadini’s outsourced services encompass all aspects of mine planning and operation, from exploration drilling and resource modeling to mine design, production scheduling, and operational management. This holistic approach ensures seamless project execution and continuous operational improvement.
Innovative solutions	Leveraging the latest technologies and industry best practices, TacminMadini helps clients enhance their operational efficiency, reduce risks, and implement innovative mining solutions that drive value and sustainability

TacminMadini offers zero profit margin bids, also known as shadow bids, and first principle cost benchmarks as part of their comprehensive project management services. These approaches ensure that clients receive precise cost estimates, enabling better budgeting, cost control, and competitive tendering. Partnering with TacminMadini for zero profit margin bids and first principle cost benchmarks provides clients with unparalleled cost accuracy, competitive tendering advantages, and enhanced project control. These services enable clients to manage their projects more efficiently, ensuring successful, on-time, and within-budget completion.

Zero profit margin bids	TacminMadini prepares zero profit margin bids by breaking down the total project value based on the resources employed by contractors. This method provides clients with a complete cost breakdown that matches the contract value, giving them first-hand knowledge of the contractor’s costs without profit margins.
First principle costing	Utilizing first principle costing, TacminMadini estimates project costs from the ground up, based on fundamental data such as resource requirements and OEM life cycle costs. This approach ensures highly accurate and transparent cost estimates, enabling better project planning and execution.
Benchmarking against contractors	By using shadow bids, TacminMadini benchmarks contractor costs, allowing for more competitive tendering processes. This ensures that clients receive the most cost-effective solutions for their projects, often resulting in significant cost savings.
Resource optimization	Through detailed resource analysis and scheduling, TacminMadini optimizes the allocation of manpower, equipment, and materials, further enhancing cost efficiency and project performance.
