Scoping studies & Preliminary Economic Assessments (PEA)
Early-stage studies that establish technical options and economic potential. We frame mine concepts, size equipment and logistics, build first-pass schedules, CAPEX/OPEX and sensitivities, and map permitting and ESG risks for Nordic/EU contexts. A defensible case to advance—or pivot—with confidence.

Scoping defines viable mining/processing routes, equipment envelopes and infrastructure corridors, building first-pass LOM and cost ranges. When data gaps or risks emerge, we reference the mining project evaluation and the dedicated risk assessment to prioritize testwork and design updates before committing to Pre-Feasibility & Feasibility Studies (PFS/FS).
Economics that tell a credible story
We build transparent CAPEX/OPEX with owner’s/contingency lines, run sensitivities for grade, recovery, strip, availability and price/FX, and document assumptions so results flow cleanly into project valuation and, if required, NI 43-101/JORC technical reporting.
