This service provides gold miners, financial institutions, governments
and other industry stakeholders with detailed forward-looking insight
into the underlying drivers of gold mine economics. It is a high
quality independent support to investment/lending decisions, risk/reward
analysis, peer group comparisons and mine benchmarking.
Background:
Despite high gold prices, the gold mining industry still faces very
significant challenges. Output continues to stagnate and production
costs remain high, as established mines mature and exploration fails
to fill the gap.
This study clearly identifies and quantifies:
• Which mines are profitable under different market outcomes?
• What is the impact of different price outcomes and input
cost scenarios on the future production profile?
• What gold prices are needed for projects to generate acceptable
financial returns?
• Which mines and projects present the best growth and profit
opportunities?
Analysis based on highly detailed, rigorous mine-by-mine analysis
of production costs, broken down to $/tonne mining, ore processing
and on-site administration costs, plus benchmarking of fuel, power,
labour productivity and other key inputs. The study includes forecasts
of gold mine production, operating costs and cash flows to 2030.
Release Dates:
Gold Mine Cost Service is now available to subscribers with silver,
platinum group metal and diamond elements of the system to follow.
| Main Features |
Besides an in-depth production cost breakdown, revenues,
margins and forward-looking cash flows are presented for each
operation.
• Global coverage: Analysis of over two hundred operating
gold mines, each with annual gold production greater than
50koz, plus around one hundred projects at prefeasibility
stage or later.
• Mine-by-mine analysis to 2030: Detailed reserves/resources,
production, operating cost, capital cost and cash flow analysis.
• Global Analysis: Distilling the mine-by-mine data
into analysis of global trends; production and industry cost
structure, cost and margin curves, competitive analysis.
• Electronic Product: Web-based, mine and project profiles
and notes available to download. Flexing model allowing clients
to assess the impact of different exchange rate, input cost
and gold price scenarios on mine economics.
