Operational readiness & valuations
Bridging the gap between planning clarity and executable performance
Many projects advance with unverified reserves, unclear mining strategies, weak engineering inputs, or cost assumptions that don’t hold up under operational pressure. TacminMadini’s Operational Readiness and Valuations framework closes these gaps by validating long-term value, confirming technical soundness, and establishing financially defendable positions before execution proceeds. Through LOM studies, owner-versus-contractor evaluations, outsourced engineering, zero-margin benchmarking, and Independent Engineer’s Reports, we equip leaders with the clarity, evidence, and risk visibility needed to move from planning to performance with confidence.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
LOM studies with reserve declarations
Optimising long-term value through precise reserves and economic clarity
Are your long-term decisions built on verified reserves — or estimates that may not withstand scrutiny? |
| Unverified or misclassified reserves can mislead planning, distort project economics, and erode investor confidence. |
| We prepare disciplined Life-of-Mine studies supported by internationally compliant reserve declarations (JORC, NI 43-101, SAMREC). By integrating geological confidence with mine planning and project economics, we give leadership a reliable foundation for funding, long-term strategy, and sustainable value creation. |
Owner vs Contract miner trade-off
Evaluating the most efficient and cost-effective mining approaches.
Is your mining model optimised for cost, control, and efficiency — or based on legacy assumptions? |
| The wrong approach can inflate costs, limit flexibility, or undermine productivity across the life of mine. |
| We conduct detailed owner-versus-contractor trade-off assessments that clarify financial, operational, and strategic implications. When transitions are considered, we design practical pilot programs that validate assumptions and provide real-world insight before committing to full-scale change. |
Outsourced mine engineering
Expert engineering and planning to strengthen performance
Are your engineering and planning frameworks giving you strategic advantage — or creating hidden weaknesses? |
| Inconsistent planning, limited internal capacity, or outdated methods often erode productivity and elevate operating costs. |
| We deliver outsourced mine engineering and planning across the full lifecycle, embedding technical accuracy, disciplined design, and performance-driven planning. This enhances productivity, strengthens safety, and provides flexible access to high-calibre expertise without expanding internal overheads. |
Zero-profit margin bids
Independent cost validation for confident tender decisions
Do you truly know what the work should cost — or are your decisions based solely on contractor pricing? |
| Inflated rates, hidden margins, and unrealistic assumptions frequently distort adjudication and result in costly overruns. |
| We develop first-principles, zero-margin pricing baselines for contract mining scopes. This transparent benchmark exposes risk, sharpens negotiation leverage, and supports contractor selection based on evidence rather than assumption — improving cost control and delivery certainty. |
Technical due diligence (IER)
Critical insight for acquisitions, financing, and strategic decisions
Are you seeing the full picture before committing capital — or only what is presented? |
| Operational, geological, environmental, or legal risks often remain hidden without rigorous independent assessment. |
| We conduct comprehensive due-diligence reviews across geology, mining, processing, environmental, and legal domains. Prepared to global reporting standards, our Independent Engineer’s Reports (IERs) give lenders, boards, and M&A teams clear, defensible findings that support confident financing, acquisition, and development decisions. |
