Highly accurate estimation of capital cost becomes crucial and has an undeniable impact on project cash flow, since the mining capital cost is usually huge and expended in the …
In mining projects, the capital cost (CC) of mining usually includes two main groups (1) the initial and (2) working capital costs (start-up and stay-in-business capital costs) (Mohutsiwa and Musingwini, 2015). The costs usually focus primarily on infrastructure, equipment, mine-site development, and exploration, keeping the mine running, to ...
For a sample of 27 proposed porphyry copper projects, capital costs can be estimated from three variables: mineral processing rate, strip ratio, and distance from nearest railroad before mine construction began. Of all the variables tested, operating costs were found to be significantly correlated only with strip ratio.
The context: Evolution released its quarterly report before market opened, revealing gold production of 194,000 ounces, 3% above average estimates. Group all-in sustaining cost (AISC) for the quarter was $1,659 per ounce, in-line with consensus forecasts. RBC Capital Markets analyst Alex Barkley described the result as "neutral", flagging that growth capital …
Background information, formulae and a systematic set of procedures for estimating capital and operating costs for open pit mining equipment are presented in this paper. Firstly, equipment capital costs are required. These can be obtained from either suppliers, contractors or from first principles. The equipment is then divided into cost elements. Typically these are fuel and …

Accurate capital costs are estimated from the lengths, sizes, and unit costs of planned mine development; manufacturers' quotations for specific equipment; quantities and contractors' unit costs for excavation, concrete foundations, and installations of piping, electric services, and …
All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) includes cost items additional to TCC1, with the aim of better-reflecting the full cost of keeping the mine in business. AISC therefore includes: exploration …
Capital cost overruns (CO) have been endemic and significant. EDC has a significant lending portfolio in mining and metals. As a lender, EDC faced the issue which drove the desire to …
Customs and VAT costs in the Phase 1 capital estimates have been included in direct costs and shown separately for the remainder. 21.2.1.1 Open Pit Capital Costs The open pit mine capital costs include the following: Heavy mobile equipment (HME) Minor equipment Explosives and diesel Mining software and systems Spare shovel bucket Spare FEL bucket
form of mining, section 1 should be thoroughly understood prior to estimating costs. Section 2 contains cost equations that enable the user to estimate capital and operating costs of specific placer techniques. Cost equations are designed to handle the wide variety of conditions commonly found in placer deposits.
INTRODUCTION This paper presents a "case history" of the steps taken to estimate capital and operating costs for a typical porphyry copper concentrator of ±9,070 metric tons (10,000 short tons) per day capacity. The concentrator described herein is hypothetical, but is based on experience and is, in effect, a composite of several actual projects. The numbers used are …

Expenditures on certain kinds of property ("depreciable property") are the subject of "capital cost allowance" ("CCA"), the tax version of the accounting concept of depreciation. For Canadian tax purposes, depreciable properties are grouped into different classes, with each class having its own separate rate of CCA.
