As a recommended practice (RP) of AACE International, the Cost Estimate Classification System provides guidelines for applying the general principles of estimate classification to project cost estimates (i.e., cost estimates that are used to evaluate, approve, and/or fund projects). The Cost Estimate Classification System maps the phases and stages of project cost estimating together with a generic project scope definition maturity and quality matrix, which can be applied across a wide variety of process industries. <...>

It was a bright morning in early 1971. I had been seconded as part of my graduate training course at London stockbrokers James Capel to assist on the mining desk, having expressed an interest in becoming involved in international securities rather than the domestic share market. As the Jesuits say, give us the boy and we will have him for life. My lifetime addiction to mining began that spring day.

In the 1970s, members of the U.S. National Committee on Tunneling Technology (USNCTT) recognized a need to review and improve contracting practices for underground construction. The committee conducted an intensive study and several workshop reviews, ultimately publishing a set of recommended practices in 1974.

Cost indexes provide a mechanism for adjusting outdated cost information and for tracking cost inflation in the mining industry. Table 1 lists a variety of indexes for specific mining cost centers and provides some guidance for their use. Table 2 lists current and historical values for the indexes. Table 3 lists U.S. Producer Price Indexes and Consumer Price Indexes. These are generally recognized as reliable measures of general inflation in the U.S. economy, and they serve as a comparison to the inflation experienced by the mining industry <...>

В настоящее время на мировых биржах торгуются акции более 1700 горнодобывающих компаний, из них российских компаний (или компаний с частичным российским капиталом) - не более 20, что явно несоразмерно с минерально-сырьевой ролью России в мире.

Energy costs represent a significant component of the total costs of operations for Canada’s mining sector. Directly and indirectly, the energy use in the mining sector is also a significant contributor to Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. Improving energy efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate changes.

This book is crafted against the backdrop of the commodities super-cycle that we had in the first decade of the 21st Century, and the mining industry having learnt severe lessons. Dr Ian Runge summarized the decade-long experiment with the prioritization of volumes and said, “The economics of mining is at an inflection point. For the last decade or so our focus has been on developing mines and bringing them into production. It is not production on its own that is important, it is how efficiently we can produce.”¹ The message was echoed by Ivan Glasberg, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Glencor at the time of penning this book: “The big guys really screwed up (during the super-cycle) by building too many mines”, and as a result he opined that miners needed to learn about supply and demand fundamentals. “The real trap in the gold industry in the past was chasing volume,” said Tom Palmer, Newmont CEO and, “No one made any real money,” according to Barrick Gold Corporation’s CEO, Mark Bristow. <...>
