ANALYSIS
“Equipment Cost Service saves us a ton of time during budgeting and replacement planning. We use it to get consistent, up-to-date costs for mobile and plant equipment, including rebuilds and operating costs. It’s become a trusted reference across multiple sites and helps us keep estimates aligned with real-world pricing.”
— Mine Engineer, Canadian underground operations group
“We rely on Mining Cost Service to support operating cost estimates across mining, milling, and G&A. It gives us reliable unit costs we can tie directly to real project assumptions, which helps keep our models consistent and defensible during internal reviews.”
— Financial Analyst, U.S.-based mining investment group
“We use the Mine Labor Service, including both the report and the Mine Labor Tool, to benchmark wages across job categories, mine types, and regions. It’s become essential for workforce planning and helps us align compensation strategies with current labor market conditions.”
— HR Manager, U.S. open-pit copper mine
“Reclamation Cost Service has been a huge help during permitting. It gives us access to defensible closure cost data we can use to support our assumptions and benchmark across jurisdictions when updating closure plans.”
— Senior Planner, global mining company
MODELS
“We used SHERPA Surface to generate cost estimates for early pit development. It handled our inputs easily and gave us reliable operating and capital costs we could refine as the project advanced. It’s a huge step up from custom spreadsheets. Faster, cleaner, and far more defensible.”
— Mine Planner, Western U.S. copper project
“SHERPA Underground helped us compare mining methods and development strategies across multiple phases. The ability to adjust key assumptions and instantly generate new cost outputs saved us weeks of work. It’s become a critical part of how we approach pre-feasibility work.”
— Senior Mining Engineer, Canadian consulting firm
“We used SHERPA Apex to evaluate the financial viability of a mid-sized underground project. The cash flow model helped us test different production rates, capital schedules, and commodity prices, all in one place. The sensitivity tools made it easy to present a clear risk picture to our executive team.”
— Senior Mining Economist, international engineering firm
“We used SHERPA Reclamation to prepare a closure cost estimate for permitting. Having a transparent, customizable model built on third-party data made it much easier to work with regulators and defend our numbers. It’s made the whole process more efficient.”
— Environmental Specialist, U.S.-based permitting firm
“We used SHERPA Mineral Processing during a scoping study to test different flowsheets and processing options. The built-in models helped us quickly assess the cost impact of changing parameters like grind size and recovery. It gave us the clarity we needed to move forward with confidence.”
— Process Engineer, Canadian gold project
TOOLS
“Mining Intelligence lets us screen companies and properties quickly without having to dig through filings or outdated datasets. We use it to track M&A activity, assess potential partners, and benchmark against competitors. It has become an essential part of our business development toolkit.”
— Corporate Development Analyst, mid-tier gold producer
“We rely on Mining Intelligence for quick access to global property and ownership data. It cuts down our research time and gives us a solid starting point when evaluating jurisdictions or preparing for internal strategy reviews.”
— Research Manager, global mining investment firm
“Equipment Cost Calculator replaced the mess of spreadsheets and PDFs we used to rely on. Now we can run consistent and defensible equipment cost estimates across projects, adjusting for fuel, labor, and region. It is fast, customizable, and a huge time-saver when evaluating options.”
— Project Engineer, U.S. surface mining contractor
