Watch: Building Better Mine Cost Models with WOODY

See how WOODY benchmarks mining projects across CAPEX, OPEX, and production

WOODY is a powerful tool for building and benchmarking mine cost models, designed to help financial and technical teams make faster, more informed decisions. Powered by SHERPA’s first-principles engineering logic and continuously updated with real-world inputs from miners, OEMs, and public data, WOODY creates bottom-up cost profiles you can trust.

In this webinar, Costmine Intelligence’s Managing Director Mike Sinden, Director of Costing and Engineering Gordon Sobering, and Vice President of Sales Chris Berry walk through how copper and gold assets are benchmarked across CAPEX, OPEX, and production. The session explores how to pressure-test project assumptions and how scenario analysis can support planning in changing market conditions. It also highlights how real-world inputs including equipment, labor, and consumables are used to build defensible and transparent cost models.

Whether you are evaluating new opportunities or validating existing assumptions, this webinar provides a practical look at how WOODY supports more reliable project analysis and decision-making.

Mission Impossible: Truly independent mine cost analysis?

Reliable mining investment decisions require more than operator-reported forecasts. New analysis from Costmine finds OPEX estimates in feasibility studies lag independent benchmarks by 39% on average, with CAPEX variance averaging 26% across projects in Canada, Chile, the US, Mexico, Australia, and Pakistan.
