MM&A prepares economic analyses to determine the present value of the cash flow and rate of return on the investment. Based upon the physical parameters of the reserve, we prepare estimates of productivity, production, manpower, capital requirements, and operating costs for proposed or on-going mining operations. Our professionals evaluate manpower costs, royalty, depreciation, depletion, and interest charges (cash flows are calculated on a pre- or post-tax basis).

We incorporate productivity parameters with manpower and supply costs into a unique spreadsheet model to generate comprehensive cost analyses. MM&A routinely performs analyses on indirect, direct and total costs, and earnings before income tax bases, including estimates of depletion and depreciation.
