Owner vs Contract trade-off
Owner vs Contract miner trade-off
Evaluating the most efficient and cost-effective mining approaches.
- TacminMadini conducts in-depth trade-off studies to assess the benefits and challenges of owner-operated versus contract mining.
- Our expertise enables clients to optimise costs and improve operational efficiency, offering strategic guidance tailored to their specific needs.
- For clients considering a shift to owner-operated mining, we provide pilot programs that simulate changes, minimising risks and delivering actionable insights before full implementation.

Zero profit margin bids
Zero-profit margin bids
Independent cost validation to support accurate, risk-informed tender decisions
- We independently price contract mining scopes from first principles with zero profit margin, providing a transparent cost baseline to benchmark contractor tenders.
- This process exposes inflated rates, hidden margins, and unrealistic assumptions, allowing clients to identify commercial risks before contracts are awarded.
- It enables more confident adjudication, strengthens negotiation leverage, and supports cost-effective contractor selection while enhancing overall cost control and delivery performance.
Technical due diligence
Technical due diligence (IER)
Critical insight to support acquisitions, financing, and project development strategies
- We conduct comprehensive technical due diligence on operational and brownfield mining projects, reviewing geology, mining, processing, environmental, and legal aspects to uncover risks and hidden value.
- Our reports support investment decisions by identifying operational gaps, compliance issues, cost uncertainties, and opportunities for optimisation before acquisition or expansion.
- Developed by global reporting codes, our Independent Engineers Reports (IERs) serve as trusted, independent assessments for financiers, owners, and M&A teams seeking objective and actionable insights.
Why it matters: Operational readiness is where strategic plans are tested against real-world execution. By combining independent valuations, trade-off assessments, and Tacmin.ai’s digital oversight, we provide executives with transparent benchmarks for cost, schedule, and ESG performance before critical commitments are made. This ensures projects move into execution with risks mitigated, financing supported, and strategies aligned — delivering confidence to boards, investors, and communities while reinforcing TacminMadini’s legacy of disciplined, accountable project delivery.
