Course Description

This course provides participants with a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of mining economics. It focuses on cost efficiencies involved in every step of the mining process and provides an introduction to systematic planning and the importance of engineering decision-making based on costs.

Course Objectives

  • Describe best practice systematic mine planning
  • Explain the importance of engineering decisions based on costs
  • Define the concept of scarcity and how it relates specifically to exhaustible resources
  • Interpret the way in which the theory of mineral supply, the generation of mineral rents, the capture of rents and their distribution to a variety of stakeholders is undertaken
  • Perform break-even analysis
  • Describe costs from an economic perspective
  • Apply economic criteria to real-life decision making
