Assess mine viability by plotting commodity price and percentile lines to analyze investment potential. Incorporate additional data series such as All-in Costs, All-in Sustaining Costs, Total Cash Margins, and more to obtain deeper analytical insights into cash costs and production forecasts.

Leverage historical production data from 1991 and projected estimates through 2050 to perform a comprehensive time trend analysis utilizing a range of cost metrics. Our inputs encompass prices, fuel costs, exchange rates, country-specific cost inflators (such as labor, electricity, and reagents), as well as the natural gas consumption of pellet plants for iron ore, concentrate, and refining charges, and tax rates.

Evaluate the cost-competitiveness of global mines. Benchmark global cost curves by group, filter, label, and highlight multiple cost curves by property, equity owner, or geography to examine cost-competitiveness from different perspectives. Access information on production cost breakdown or historical production data to examine production cost efficiency.

Perform sensitivity analysis with our intuitive Mine Economics cost curves and NPV models to understand the value of a mine or possible risk caused by market changes. Input your own macro-economic assumptions and evaluate how they affect mine costs, revenue and NPV to make well-informed decisions.

Adjust macro-level inputs such as commodity prices, labor costs, energy prices, foreign exchange rates, and treatment charges to examine how the changes in these factors may impact on profit margins. You can also utilize our Commodity Consensus Price Forecasts to project commodity prices on the model.
