Project & Operation Management

Gc’s Audit Procedure Is Based on Its Knowledge Of The Key Technical And Economic Factors Which Influence The Profitability Of Mining Operations, Including Estimation Of Geology And Grade Control, Mine Planning And Scheduling, Drilling And Blasting, Mining Operations And Mineral Processing.

Equipment Section

Optimal equipment selection is essential for efficient mining & GC to deliver equipment selection scenarios that model the entire process.& We implement the planning detail needed to understand all interactions and ensure that the selection of any single-point solution does not create or transfer bottlenecks up or down the value chain. We produce mine plans that consider and combine all mining methods with a focus on understanding interactions, rather than considering the mining method or equipment of interest in isolation. Surface mining operations should consider production plans containing any combination of excavators, shovels, trucks, IPCC, BWE, surface miners or draglines. By creating scenarios that capture all mining interactions, we optimize your equipment selection and extraction approach, providing confidence that decisions are made on a total value basis.

Economic Evaluations

We provide economic evaluation services for the aggregate and industrial mining industries which allow the producer to achieve optimum economic returns. Economic evaluation services provided by beck & associates include:

• Allocation of capital funds to specific projects that maximize financial returns
• Identification of necessary financing
• Generation of investment proposals
• Estimate and evaluation of annual cash flows (operating, capital)
• Selection of competing projects based on an acceptance criterion
• Continuous re-evaluation of projects after acceptance (project forecasts become key production indicators or KPI’S
• Increase the overall value of resource by mining within economic break-even boundaries
• Development of preliminary operating costs (KPI’S)
• Mining financial risk assessments
• Transportation cost analysis
• Selection of optimum prices for the products using activity-based costing (ABC’S).
